1977. Introduced by Stanley Kunitz. "Intricate portraits of lackadaisical Southern life (a man fishing, a boy who's lost his shoes) that move almost seamlessly into myth, giving an omnipresent air to the entire reading. Recommended." --Library Journal The majority of these poems come from Warren's critically acclaimed Or Else. Warren received two Pulitzer Prizes for his poetry, and one for his fiction. As Kunitz points out in his introduction, "no writer of our time has been so multifaceted or myriadminded." Length: 57 min.
