[Poetry reading at the University at Buffalo, June 22, 1972] / George Oppen.

Recorded at the University at Buffalo on September 17, 1974 on a 60 minute Ampex sound cassette. Recorded by and acquired from Allen De Loach.

Poet George Oppen reads from Seascape: needle's eye (published in 1972), from This in which (published in 1965) and Of being numerous (published in 1968). There is some distortion and noise with the recording and the poet's voice is captured at a low level.
