Robert Frost
âGood fences make good neighbors.â Robert Frost crafted some of the most indelible lines in American poetry in such poems as âMending Wallâ (1914).
During a 1914 trip to England, the Boston poet Amy Lowell discovered the work of Robert Frost in local bookstores. Recognizing his talent, she brought his books back to the United States and initiated a campaign to secure an American publisher for his poetry.1
Lowell further championed his work by writing a laudatory review of his collection North of Boston, which was published in The New Republic. Her efforts were instrumental in raising awareness among writers and publishers throughout the Northeast, helping to establish Frost's reputation in America even before he returned to the country in 1915.1
