Cummings, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Claudia Rankine, Adrienne Rich, Dylan Thomas, Wallace Stevens, and more.

“Why’s/Wise 1” Amiri Baraka

As the country’s first library of voices, the Woodberry Poetry Room helped create some of the earliest recordings of such writers as Ralph Ellison, Robert Frost, Audre Lorde, Vladimir Nabokov, Sylvia Plath, and T. S. Eliot. We invite you to listen to one of the most rare recordings in the archive: T. S. Eliot’s first known poetry recording—produced at Harvard in 1933 and re-released as a Harvard Vocarium LP in 1951. With thanks to the Eliot Foundation for their generous permission.
