1992. Introduced by Jan Heller Levi. In this phenomenal pairing these two poets compliment each other with their very distinct formal concerns. Hacker reads poignant meditations on love, sex, and the written life primarily from her astonishingly crafted Going Back to the River. Jordan favors a freer line and infuses her poems with a direct and defiant social voice. The work she reads span many years of her prolific career, including the landmark "Poem About My Rights." Length: 85 min. (2 discs) |
