[Poetry reading at the Poetry Collection, University at Buffalo, November 18, 1982] / Jack Gilbert.

Recorded at the Poetry Collection at the University at Buffalo on November 18, 1982 on a 60 minute Scotch sound cassette.

Jack Gilbert is introduced by an unnamed person. Gilbert talks in depth about his marriage and divorce from fellow poet Linda Gregg, and reads a poem of hers. He also provides vivid anecdotes about aging, living and traveling in Paris, and his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Recording ends abruptly during Gilbert's reading of Prospero without his magic.
