First Publication

During this time, Frost sporadically attended Dartmouth and Harvard, earned a living teaching school and later worked on a farm in Derry, New Hampshire. | To celebrate his first publication, Frost had a book of six poems privately printed; two copies of Twilight were made one for himself and one for his fiancée. | But in 1912, discouraged by American magazines' constant rejection of his work, he took his family to England, where he found more professional success. | Over the next eight years, however, he succeeded in having only 13 more poems published.
