March 10, 2012- The Letters of Robert Duncan and Denise Levertov

This past Saturday we did our official wrap-up from our Aaron Shurin interview shows of the preceding four weeks. During this interview we talked about the poetic conflict between Robert Duncan and Denise Levertov. We used this portion of Shurin's interview as a launching pad for our own discussion about the debate between Duncan and Levertov. We read excerpts from the The Letters of Robert Duncan and Denise Levertov, published by Stanford University Press in 2004. We then had our own lively, if not inconclusive, discussion about the debate between didactic and expansive poetry. Click here to listen
