1978. Introduced by Paul Zweig. Renowned for such novels as The Handmaid's Tale and The Blind Assassin, Canadian poet and writer Margaret Atwood reads selected poems from Two-Headed Poems. In this recording, Atwood builds a stage for her poems, providing vivid insights into her sources and stories of her process. In the introduction, Paul Zweig notes that her poetry expresses "the external shape of everything in our minds that can't be civilized. As if she were letting us know that savagery is not noble, as in the myth of the noble savage, but it is merely human." Length: 37 min.
