1994. Introduced by John Hollander.

Richard Howard gives an incomparable reading of three of his own poems in this recording, "November 1889," "Nikolaus Mardruz," and "Venetian Interior 1889."

Library Journal calls this tape of Richard Howard "superb.... He reads three dramatic monologues based on Robert Browning's life and work. His voice is extremely animated and involved; we see not only the craft of the poem (which is prominent on the page), but the passion of the poem."

Length: 67 min.
