Spinning Poetry: The Spoken Word

The Institute LIbrary 847 Chapel Street, New Haven

Spinning Poetry is a program where we’re invited to hear poets as they read their own works, many of which are old familiar pieces, but many of which have fallen out of fashion or just gotten swallowed by time. By playing Caedmon Records’ recordings of these readings, we can gain a new appreciation for works we’ve gotten accustomed to just seeing, if we see them at all, on a printed page. Now: the voices come alive! Held monthly, with Philip Beard as your literary tour guide.
