The author of the poem I'm writing about is Robert Frost. His writing has come from his life. In the poem Acquainted with the Night it talks about a man living a lonely life and he walks the streets at night. Robert life was plagued with grief and loss. He lost his father when he was 11 and his mother died of cancer. Then he committed his into a mental hospital and she died there 9 years later. His wife died of heart failure. Out of his six children only two of them outlived him. In his writing you can see that he puts his life events and how he feels in his writing.
