On this segment of HarperAudio!,
American poet Robert Frost (1874-1963) reads "The Road Not Taken," "The 

Pasture," "Mowing," "Birches," "After Apple-Picking," and "The Tuft of 

Flowers."  Set in rural New England, Frost's poetry uses ordinary events 

and objects from his life in New England as metaphors for complex ideas 

and feelings.  "The Road Not Taken" presents the classic choice of a moment 

and a lifetime, while "The Tuft of Flowers" explores the meaning of common 

human experiences.  Frost, who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1924, 1931, 

1937, and 1943, described a poem as "a momentary stay against confusion."  

These straightforward but intense readings were made in 1956 at Frost's 

home.
