This recording is of three separate poetry readings by Robert Duncan, two of which were held at the University at Buffalo and the other at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, also in Buffalo, N.Y. The dates of the readings were January 8, 1962, May 1, 1967, and March 6, 1968. In the first reading, Duncan was introduced by Robert Creeley, and the two poets then had a discussion about Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, William Carlos Williams, Robert Browning, H.D., D.H. Lawrence, imagism, Allen Tate, Randall Jarrell, John Crowe Ransom, Robert Penn Warren, New Criticism, paganism, Mohammed, The Cantos, Carl Jung, Thomas Carlyle, Dale Carnegie, William Shakespeare, and T.S.

In the middle of reading "Shadows, Passages 11," a baby could be heard crying in the audience, prompting Duncan to say "The reason a child is going to be distressed during these poems is that a child does not understand the words to get fully the emotional undercurrent of them, and frankly this section distresses me and if I were a baby I'd howl. I mean, I really think you've got to remember this in relation to a poem because the human voice changes in a poem." In the third reading, Duncan reads the last two poems, the thirty-first and thirty-third, of "Passages." The three readings are not divided by the three discs.
