Poets NEW in the mail!

Eliot Reads at PennSound NEW

 

T.S. Eliot page now available at PennSound...  Dear friends & colleagues: It's a big moment for PennSound! We are excited to announce Chris Mustazza's edition of recordings of T.S. Eliot, available in PennSound for the first time. These are the master recordings from one of the earliest recording sessions of Eliot, made at Columbia University in the early to mid 1930s. Some of these recordings had subsequently been distributed through various releases later in the twentieth century, but this is the first time the master recordings are being made available, digitized from aluminum transcription discs. Here's the link: https://writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Eliot.php Best wishes from the PennSound team here at the Kelly Writers House,

Nick Mount on Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot

Well. I've been interested in Godot and his author for many years. This is worth a listen. Then story of the presentation in jail is worth tuning in.
