Al Filreis convened Thomas Devaney, JS Wu, and Vincent Katz (visiting from New York) to talk about two poems by Edwin Denby. The two poems are “The Subway” and “Ciampino: Envoi.” They can be found in Edwin Denby: the Complete Poems, published by Random House and edited by Ron Padgett. You can hear Denby performing these poems in audio recordings archived at his PennSound page. These poems and a selection of others were recorded and edited by Jacob Burckhardt between the years 1976 and 1983, on a CD originally issued on disc in 2004.
Al Filreis convened Larry Price, William Fuller (traveling from Chicago), and Sophia DuRose to talk about three new poems by Larry Price. Bill Fuller selected for us three prose-poem sections or pages from Larry's new book titled 1/0. Larry’s PennSound page at the time of our conversation did not yet include recordings of this new writing, so we asked Larry to perform these poems toward the start of the episode. Earlier on the day of the session Larry spent time in the Wexler Studio at the Kelly Writers House recording more poems from 1/0 and other selections from his previous books.
