A 60th Birthday Tribute to James Broughton (November 7, 1973)

This audio is available in streaming format

Broughton’s unique cinematic and poetic observations of the cosmic/comic human situation are reflected in this 1973 interview conducted by Charles Amirkhanian on the occasion of Broughton’s 60th birthday (November 10, 1973). Born in Modesto California, Broughton was one of the San Francisco poetry renaissance writers, and the maker of the prize-winning film, “The Bed”, among others. Broughton’s works are imbued with a sense of joy, magic, and childlike playfulness. In this program he reads a selection of poems from his book “A Long Undressing (1949-1969)” which was published by the Jargon Society, and Charles plays a couple of selections from the record “The Bard & The Harper” which features Broughton reading some of his poems to the musical accompaniment of harpist Joel Andrews.
