Here are two poets whose work intensifies when read aloud. This extraordinary reading by Frank Bidart and C. K. Williams affirms why they are, as Lawrence Joseph noted in his introduction, "two of the best and important poets of their generation."


Bidart reads six short, connected poems from In the Western Night and the long persona poem "Ellen West." Williams reads selections from Tar and A Dream of Mind, including "The Gas Station" and "The Vessel."


1992
Introduced by Lawrence Joseph
