Robert Creeley
December 4, 1963

Description: http://poetry.arizona.edu/sites/poetry.arizona.edu/files/images/AVL-promo-creeley-logo.jpgRobert Creeley’s 1963 appearance in Tucson for the Poetry Center’s Fall reading series is our earliest recorded reading. In it, the legendary poet reads from For LoveThe Gold Diggers, and Words. Listen to Creeley’s performance of “I Know a Man” for the poet’s fascinating commentary on the meaning of this, arguably his most famous poem.
