Frost

Frost Frost Bitten Poetry Robert Frost is considered an icon of American poetry. Many call him America’s poet, and rightly so. He lived an eventful life, and parts of his life come through in his poetry, as is the case with the poem’s “In Hardwood groves” and “My November Guest”. Both poems give vivid imagery of the autumn, which in New England is arguably the prettiest and one of the more lengthy seasons. It is easy to see how his growing up in Salem shows in his writing. Born in 1874 in San Francisco where Frost spent the first eleven years of his life before moving to Lawrence, Massachusetts. That early part of his life in California rarely shows in his writing and is not seen in the two previously mentioned poems. These two poems paint a picture which resembles his scenery in New England. He writes in the poem “In Hardwood Groves,” about the leaves turning brown and the falling, giving an October like setting. In “My November Guest,” he writes more of November scenery (as the title suggests).
