I have listened to this lecture on repeat now for the last three weeks, each time it still sounds fresh. It does more than just add context to his work it paints a vivid picture of the life of a poet in the last half of the 20th century.
Creeley, who is a well-weathered teacher having worked as one for much of his life, never runs dry when lecturing on poetry punctuated by a funny and interesting aural-biography.
