Poetry

In one of his many visits to the 92nd Street Y, poet W.H. Auden reads from a selection of his work, including “Bucolics” (a sequence of seven poems about man's relation to nature) and selections from “Horae Cononicae” (a series of poems which dramatize Auden’s religious position).

Recorded January 22, 1955, at 92nd Street Y. Read Cynthia Ozick’s reflection on listening to Auden at http://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2014/01/22/w-h-auden-at-the-92nd-street-y/. More information can be found at http://www.92Y.org/VPC.
