[Poetry reading at SUNY Brockport] / W.D. Snodgrass.

Recorded at SUNY Brockport in Brockport, N.Y. by Robert J. Bertholf on a 7 inch Scotch reel-to-reel tape.

This poetry reading by W.D. Snodgrass was held at SUNY Brockport in Brockport, New York. The date is unidentified, but the man who introduced Snodgrass referred to After experience (1968) as Snodgrass' "latest book." Snodgrass read poems from After experience and Heart's needle (1959), and then read a large selection from Gallows songs (1967), a book of poems by Christian Morgenstern that Snodgrass and Lore Segal co-translated from the German.
