[Lectures at the Charles Olson Memorial Lectures, the Poetry Collection, University at Buffalo, March 9, 13, 15, 1983] / Ed Sanders.

Recorded at the Charles Olson Memorial Lectures at the University at Buffalo on March 9, 13, 15, 1983 on three 90 minute TDK and BASF sound cassettes.

This recording is of the three lectures given by Edward Sanders at the Charles Olson Memorial Lectures. Sanders reads from Tales of Beatnik glory (1975) and The Maximus poems: volume three (1975) and sings his own poem, "Refuse to be burnt-out," and the last poem of The Maximus poems IV, V, VI (1968), which begins "I set out now" with the accompaniment of the bardic pulse lyre. Sanders reads from The special view of history (1970), and sings the mantra that was written by Olson upon request from Sanders and was supposed to be performed by the Fugs during the protests at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. Sanders is introduced by Jack Clarke

Ed Sanders.
