1970. Introduced by George Plimpton. This recording captures Hall's voice at a point of transformation in 1970 as he "puts aside mastery of forms for the irregular, irrational chime of imagery" (Ploughshares). He reads substantial selections from the acclaimed The Alligator Bride and The Yellow Room--poems at once surreal and everyday--with an unmistakable, self-conscious wit. "My whole life has led me here," Hall reads from his poem "Woolworth's". Length: 46 min. |
