In 1912, in an effort to find publishers for his poetry, Frost and Elinor sold their New Hampshire property and moved to England. Although Frost was largely unsuccessful as a farmer, his time in New Hampshire did inspire many of his poems. In 1900 Frost and his wife Elinor moved to a farm in New Hampshire which his grandfather purchased for them.
