Hosted by Al Filreis, PoemTalk features a roundtable close reading of poetry recordings in the PennSound archive. This special episode of PoemTalk, filmed in front of an audience, will feature poems by Pierre Joris (1946–2025) and Jerome Rothenberg (1931–2024), who were longtime collaborators and dear friends of the Kelly Writers House. The episode indeed will be one way for the PennSound, PoemTalk and Kelly Writers House community to express our deep admiration for the poetic achievements of these two cherished colleagues.
