[Poetry reading at the University at Buffalo, June 23, 1973] / Kenneth Rexroth.

Recorded at the University at Buffalo on June 23, 1973 on two 60 minute Ampex sound cassettes by Allen De Loach and acquired by the Poetry Collection. Recording has a lot of distortion due to the movement of the microphone and recording mechanism. Some tracks (12 and 13 on disc 2, for instance) are unlistenable due to this distortion.

Poet Kenneth Rexroth is introduced by Max Wickert. He reads from his old and new poetry works.
