Poetry reading: Dale Smith

Toronto-based poet-scholar Dale Smith discusses and reads work by Robert Duncan and Charles Olson. Smith's discussion will include correspondence between Duncan and Olson, "one of the foundational literary exchanges of 20th-century American poetry. The 130 letters collected in this volume begin in 1947 just after the two poets first meet in Berkeley, California, and continue to Olsons death in January 1970." Smith will also read from his own recent poetry.
