             The speaker in Frost's poems is usually careful and often sly, Frost himself is.
             very sly in his writings. Jay Parini quoted him as the "wily ironist." Critics.
             have emphasized that his cunning yet, lyrical and traditional style of writing.
             is the cornerstone to his success.
             It wasn't until 1894 before Frost began to publish his poems. He was very.

             and shortly after he became a successful poet. He became popular as a man for.
             being true to his words and thoughts as well as for being a sincere and.
             courageous person. His poetry became known and popular all over the world; his.
             poems were translated into many different languages. His poetry had become an.
             inspiration to many, particularly to a woman, Mary McCool, who was faced with a.
             similar situation as the speaker in The Road Not Taken. She, by chance, "Took.

             for his poetry numerous times. He won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry four times,.

             Medal of the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1939. He was nominated.
             for the Nobel Prize for Literature. In 1950, by unanimous resolution, Frost won.
             the gold medal from the U.S. senate. Perhaps the highlight of his career was.

             equivalent of a poet laureate" (A Tribute To Robert Frost).
             Frost has been praised for his poetry and has been accepted world wide for his.
