Sometimes the birthplaces of poets (and other authors) are so different from the places they are associated with that there seems something incongruous about them. Osip Mandelstam is so much the poet of St. Petersburg that it seems somehow wrong that he was born in Warsaw. But even stranger is that Robert Frost, so associated with rural New England, should have been born in San Francisco (and named Robert Lee Frost, after Robert E. Lee, by his Copperhead father--who admittedly had New England roots). Suppose Robert's father had not died in 1885, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Frost and the family had remained in San Francisco? Can we see Robert Frost as the poet of Bohemia (in the San Francisco sense)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Club
