Pound's Recordings from the Harvard Vocarium to the "Aspern Tapes"
Pound scholar and NYU professor of comparative literature Richard Sieburth presents a sweeping overview of Ezra Pound's vocalizations, from his early incantatory recordings for the Harvard Vocarium (in 1939) to his post-incarceration, Beckett-like conversations with his mistress Olga Rudge, a rare cassette recording of which is aired towards the end of the talk. Date: November 27, 2012, recorded at the Edison-Newman Room, Houghton Library, Harvard University. |
