Best Answer

Robert Frost is deliberately vague about where the events in 'The Road not Taken' occur. The British poet Andrew Motion has suggested that this might be because the poem originates in a conversation Frost had with his close friend the English poet Edward Thomas. Thomas said that when he came to a fork in the path while out walking, he could never decide which way to choose. Frost answered: 'But you have to choose.'

Frost set nearly all of his poetry in New England, and liked to present himself as a very American poet. But when he knew Edward Thomas he was living in England (Dymock, in Gloucestershire).

Perhaps the poem is vague because Frost doesn't want you to guess that this is an English poem.
