Not in the buy (PoemTalk #199)

Edwin Denby, "The Subway" & "Ciampino: Envoi"

LISTEN TO THE SHOW

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. “Ciampino: Envoi” in fact recalls Jacob as a young child in Rome and New York.

Listen to Denby reciting these two poems HERE and HERE.

This episode of PoemTalk was directed and engineered by Makena Deveraux and edited as always by Zach Carduner.
