It's called 'For Huncke' and the only reason I chose it today is that I read it to him last night. He was in a semi-coma, but the impetus of writing the poem at least came home when I was able to show it to him at St. Mark's Church where there was a monster inspirational poetry competition yesterday with everyone from R'lene Dahlberg reading, to Kenneth Koch, and Robert Creeley making animal sounds and rolling on the floor afterwards, so it was not a bad afternoon. We came in this morning to be here, and we had gone up to R'lene Dahlberg's afterwards and I read this to Huncke in the kitchen."

description: Recorded at the University at Buffalo in Buffalo, New York on October 20, 1970 by Allen De Loach on 7 inch Scotch reel-to-reel tape.
description: In this lecture and poetry reading, held at the University at Buffalo on October 20, 1970, Edward Dorn devoted most of the time to discussing Gunslinger, but also to making comments about The job by William S. Burroughs, Parmenides, The teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda, John Wieners, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tom Raworth, Lee Harwood, the tongue versus the mind, Las Vegas, New York City, and Paolo Soleri. "Parmenides is certainly a poet," Dorn said. "Wittgenstein is a poet, too. Anybody who's interesting is a poet. I wouldn't read anybody who wasn't a poet. It's impossible, anyway, because that's the only voice, isn't it? It's the only voice we have." In the middle of the lecture, in tracks two and three of disc two, Dorn reads four poems by Tom Raworth, one of which is titled "Going away poem for Lee Harwood," which Dorn followed up by saying, "I read the one to Lee Harwood because I think he's going to be reading here, too, as well as Tom Raworth. . . . If you're around when they come to read you should certainly catch them, because there is a kind of new articulation they've got that needs to be heard. That's like an ad." Dorn concluded by reading the section of Gunslinger titled The cycle and the short book of poems titled Songs: set two: a short count.

description: This poetry reading by Allen Ginsberg was held at the University at Buffalo on November 17, 1970. Gregory Corso provided the introduction: "How fitting it is for me to introduce to you our poet tonight. We first met twenty years ago in a tiny Greenwich Village Bar called the Pony Stable." Ginsberg sang a selection from William Blake's Songs of innocence and of experience while playing harmonium, read his own poems, chanted mantras, and played an audio message from Timothy Leary, who was a fugitive at the time. When Ginsberg sang Blake's "Spring," he changed the last word of the refrain "Merrily Merrily to welcome in the Year" to the words "Apocalypse," "End of Earth," "the phantom," and other replacements.

Also notable are Prynne's comments on Celan.

According to the biography Poet be like God by Lewis Ellingham and Kevin Killian, Spicer hosted a weekly radio show on KPFA in 1949: "Spicer's show was nominally about folk music, though he sometimes presented poetry readings, and Herndon and Fredrickson were his frequent guests--his backup band, as it were. . . After forty weeks KPFA unceremoniously dropped the show, after listener complaints about the uncensored bawdiness of some of the improvised 'folk music' Spicer & Co. presented."

In the mean time, it's become a book [Hello, La Jolla (June 1978)], but because of it's nature, it just keeps going on, so I've added to it and I've come to see that it's not really final at all." Dorn then reads "arbitrarily selected further ideas which would have gone into the book had I had them at that time." This includes thirty-one uncollected poems and quotations from Richard Porson, Charles James Fox, Ben Jonson, Baron Macaulay, Brooks Adams, Tom Clark, Thomas Hobbes, and John Milton, which compliment the six quotations that are included in Hello, La Jolla with titles and line breaks ( "The Russian quote," "The Sanders quote," "The Broughton quote," "The Cobett quote," "The Baron Macaulay quote," and "The Burr quote" ).

Loewinsohn discussed the psychologist Frieda Fromme-Reichman, to whom the poem "L'autre" is dedicated. Loewinsohn also said that "3 backyard dramas, with mamas" is "a series I sort of stole, sort of--did steal from Joanne Kyger." The series is dedicated to Kyger.

He mentioned that the poem "K. 282" refers to Mozart's piano sonata in E flat major. Loewinsohn also said that the penultimate poem of the reading ("There, of course") was a month old, and that the last poem ("Goat dance 'In the middle of the park'") was a few days old. Both poems would be printed in Goat dances.

description: This joint poetry reading by Robert Creeley and Robert Duncan was sponsored by Just Buffalo Literary Center. Creeley and Duncan were introduced by Harvey Brown and John Clarke, respectively. In addition, John Daly read a poem beginning "Sit down / Listen to the sound a poet makes " as a prologue and homage to Duncan. "Characteristically, when I'm reading in this kind of situation," Creeley said, "I tend not to make a particular selection and sort of, quote, 'play it by ear,' but for this evening and the interests here collected, I thought more appropriate indeed to read poems that seem to have part of this common responsibility as to how imaginations of the world and our understandings of them and how imaginations of being human have contexts, continuity, information beyond our own presumptions." Creeley also mentioned that Tom Clark was being paid fifteen dollars per blurb by John Martin of Black Sparrow Press and that the poem "Kore" came from a reading of Prolegomena to the study of Greek religion by Jane Harrison. Robert Duncan said: "Ground work is literally going back to the ground work, and ground in the sense of ground and figure, too, preparatory to the poetry of my senility" He continued: "The volume that follows Ground work I and volume II I can now announce is called 'Early senilities' and after that it's called 'Later senilities,' and if I really do it, like it was announced--you heard it there--I still want to get up and give you the works when I am a hundred, and I hope you're all still with me. It'll be wonderful. I'll have a totally senile audience, and it will be called 'Still later senilities.' That 'Still' is so marvelous. You know, I mean, boy, 'Barely moving later senilities.'" Before reading "A lammas tiding" and "My mother would be a falconress," Duncan said "This is my entire homage to reading in a psychoanalytic setting, and you'll see how straightline Freudian I am."

In this appearance, Ginsberg sang from William Blake's Songs of innocence and of experience, with the accompaniment of a harmonium. Ginsberg commenced by discussing how he began setting Blake's poetry to music: "I started after the Chicago convention, as a sort of visionary relief from the visionary horror of that scene. Coming back from San Francisco after taking a look at Neal Cassady's ashes, one of the Blake songs kept running through my head, one not in Innocence and Experience, 'The grey monk,' and from that I began listening to the tones of each word in the Songs." Ginsberg spent several minutes introducing "The little black boy" by discussing Gnosticism as presented in the book The gnostic religion (1958) by Hans Jonas.

[Poetry reading at the University at Buffalo, June 21, 1973] / Charles Reznikoff.
description: Recorded on June 21, 1973 by Allen De Loach on two 60 minute Ampex sound cassettes. The Poetry Collection acquired the recording from De Loach.
description: Charles Reznikoff reads selections from his works: Inscriptions: 1944-1956, Jerusalem the golden, Going to and fro and walking up and down, Poems (1920), Rhythms II, By the well of living and seeing, Testimony, and A fifth group of verse. The first two poems, Reznikoff says, "illustrate my platform as a writer of verse." Reznikoff then says of the next group, "Now I'm going to read material which I would call urban or city. As you know, for a long time, much of the verse of the last century and even this century has been nature poetry, so called, and the last great poet for that group is Robert Frost, who has just died, but for us who were born and brought up in the city, there is a kind of verse which might be called city verse, and I'll begin with some of these." In track six, Reznikoff discusses Testimony: "Law cases, recorded in the law books, not only include the legal decisions but, at times, the facts on which the decisions are based and, of course, what I was looking for were the facts." There is a brief lapse in the audio near the end of Testimony (II) in track six, after which the audio resumes at the beginning of Domestic scenes (I), and continues without interruption to the end of the reading.
