Summary

Listening to poets read their work focuses critical attention on the craft of the poem, while raising questions about the relationship between social history, technology, and the poet's "voice."Recorded Poetry and Poetic Reception from Edna Millay to the Circle of Robert Lowelloffers an analysis of a wide range of recordings, from commercial and amateur, to official studio sessions, to ephemeral events captured on reel-to-reel tape. Through the mid-century performances of poets such as Elizabeth Bishop, Dylan Thomas and Anne Sexton, Derek Furr draws penetrating new conclusions about how and why poetry was recorded in the U.S. from the 1930s to the 1970s.

Author Biography

Derek Furr is a faculty member in literature in the Master of Arts in Teaching Program at Bard College.
