1964. Introduced by Robert Lowell.

In this historic and unusual recording, the listener hears how Jarrell gained his reputation as one of this century's most astute poetry critics. Jarrell comments on his own and Elizabeth Bishop's poetry, which he reads on the occasion of her winning the Academy's fellowship. A must for fans of either poet.
