Clark Coolidge, 1976, from a long work (A Book Beginning What and Ending Away) —The Poetry Center
Full-program video with downloadable audio option at Poetry Center Digital Archive: https://diva.sfsu.edu/collections/poe... Clark Coolidge, May 5, 1976, reading his work on a double bill with Philip Whalen for The Poetry Center, San Francisco State University. Visiting from Western Massachusetts, Coolidge reads "a section from a long work that [he'd] been writing for the past two years, which as yet has no title." At times referred to as the "long prose," the entire 20-section work would be published some 35 years later as A Book Beginning What and Ending Away (Fence Books, 2012). The full program video includes Coolidge's complete reading (section 6 of the long work) and Whalen's, ranging through his poetry with ongoing commentary. #poetrycenterarchivegoeslive #clarkcoolidge
