How is Frost different from other modernist Poets?

How is Frost different?

The modernists poets I am thinking of are Yeats, Pound and T.S Elliot (just to name a few). Frost seems to distance himself by picking what topics he writes about and then how he writes about them. But I don't know if this is a correct assessment.

I would also like to know, given these assumed differences, what makes Frost great.

I am new this forum (first post!) and new to poetry so go easy on me.

He is mysterious and his course is unwalked

like an untraveled road perhaps?

He i s different in that when his temporaries tried to free themselves from the shackles of romanticism and redefined their literary styles or genres in newer terms Frost was still a romanticism but his was totally different and that is why I like his poems.

He distanced himself from everyone, and took to a reclusive, rural life. His metrics and style is not as radical as that of Eliot or Pound, and his involvement in the movement rather minimal in comparison. He is, of course, probably a much better poet than either of them (though Yeats is still number 1) but his lifestyle, and poetic style are not the same as his contemporaries. He draws more from Romanticism, and more openly, than any of the others (in my opinion).

He walked out a new way with old shoes.
