Introduced by Gregory Orr. "Does the way a poet reads matter? Yes. Listen to Mark Strand...," says Library Journal of this recording. The poet's incantatory style has a powerful effect on the listener. As Orr observes in his introduction, Strand's poetry is marked by a striking "clarity and succinctness of language" and by the "seeming ease with which he fuses the metaphysical and the imaginative." Strand reads from a number of his collections. Includes "Shooting Whales" and "From the Long Sad Party." Length: 54 min.
