[David Lampe interview and reading] /

Recorded on March 15, 1987 for Spoken Arts Radio. Paul Hogan donated a copy of the recording made on a 60 minute TDK sound cassette.

Paul Hogan interviews Buffalo State College professor David Lampe about his interest and research in Irish literature and poetry. Lampe, who is not of Irish descent, chronicles his lifelong appreciation for Irish literary culture and the Irish American ethnic identity. Lampe reads "Theresa's friend" by Robert Creeley and explains how this poem details Creeley's Irish-American heritage. Lampe reads and discusses John Montague's "A muddy cup: a ballad of Brooklyn" and Alan Dugan's "Being outclassed by class". Lampe also speaks about the extensive holdings of James Joyce manuscripts at the Poetry Collection, University at Buffalo.
