``The Snow Man" is a poem by the 20th century American poet Wallace Stevens and in this video he reads, what many consider to be, one of the best poems of the English language. Stevens wrote modern poetry, which he considered to be the ``supreme fiction" or "the poem of the mind in the act of finding".

Are you sure? If you just visit Harper Audio web site for Wallace Stevens you can listen recordings from his own voice. YouTube won't let me type the URL but I'll try:
town DOT hall DOT org SLASH radio SLASH HarperAudio
There, just find Wallace Stevens page and listen his own voice. Perhaps they are too similar, I don't know.
