1992. Introduced by Robert Pinsky.
Listeners to this recording will be dazzled by the poetry of Heather McHugh and Gerald Stern: the energy, the wit, the inventiveness, and, as Robert Pinsky says in his introduction, the "element of spiritual fire" that fuels this lively reading.
In between epigraphs, proverbs, anecdotes, and laughter, McHugh reads from her selected poems, Hinge & Sign, and Stern, winner of the 1999 National Book Award, reads poems from his eighth book, Bread Without Sugar.
Length: 73 min.
