On this segment of HarperAudio!,
American poet Robert Frost reads "Mending Wall," "One More Brevity," 

"Departmental," "A Considerable Speck," and "Why Wait for Science."  

The poems are not individually announced.  "Mending Wall" explores the 

human need for boundaries, while "Departmental" and "A Considerable 

Speck" take a close-up (and humorous) look at the animal kingdom.
Frost, who was born in 1874 and died in 1963, was awarded the Pulitzer 

Prize in 1924, 1931, 1937, and 1943.   He described a poem as "a 

momentary stay against confusion."  These readings were recorded in 

1956 at Frost's home.
