On this segment of HarperAudio!,
Wallace Stevens reading his own poetry.  Stevens was born in 1879, and 

these recordings were made shortly before his death in 1955.  Although 

he published poetry as early as 1914, Stevens did not receive widespread 

recognition until the publication of his collected poems in 1954, for 

which he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.  Stevens' poems focus on the 

sound of language, on obscure vocabulary, and on imaginative images.  

This selection includes "The Idea of Order at Key West," "The Poem that 

Took the Place of a Mountain," and "Vacancy in the Park."  The poems are 

not individually announced.
