Robert Frost Moved To England In Search Of Better Horizons

At the age of 40, only one of Frost's works has been published, and that was back when he was a student at Dartmouth. This frustrated Robert Frost, who made the unusual decision to leave his farm in Derry and come to England, where he heard that publishers were more receptive to emerging poets.

A little village in Buckinghamshire west of London called Beaconsfield was where Frost and his family originally settled after sailing to Great Britain in 1912. The next year, “A Boy's Will” his debut collection of poetry, was released. It included poems like “Mowing”, “The Tuft of Flowers” and “Storm Fear”. He made some significant connections while he was in England, including T. E. Hulme, Ezra Pound, and Edward Thomas (a Dymock poet and the inspiration for Frost's “The Road Not Taken”). Frost eventually disliked Pound's attempts to influence his American prosody, despite the fact that Pound was the first American to write a positive review of Frost's work.

He published another collection named “North of Boston” the following year. Some of Frost's more well-known poems, including “The Death of the Hired Man,” “Mending Wall” and “Home Burial,” were included. After his first two poetry collections, A Boy's Will and 1914, were published in London, Frost made friends with or met many contemporary poets there (North of Boston).
