Spinning Poetry: Quality Recordings of Quality Work.

June 12 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Spinning Poetry: Quality Recordings of Quality Work. Mid-20th century, Caedmon Records began to release LP recordings of famous poets reading their own work, giving the listener a special kind of access to poetry by some of the best writers of the time.

At  the Institute Library, we’ll be taking some time to delve into these records and give them a chance to speak to us today. Prof. Phillip Beard will be your tour guide; we’ll listen to writers such as Edna St. Vincent Millay, Conrad Aiken, Theodore Roethke, and Wallace Stevens.

This event is free and open to all; $5.00 donation encouraged.
