Ted Pearson: Three Newly Segmented Segue Recordings

We're starting this week off with a trio of newly segmented readings by poet Ted Pearson, which were broken up into individual MP3 files by PennSound staffer Camara Brown. These are vintage Segue Series sets taking place at the series' initial home, the historic Ear Inn, which were recorded in 1989, 1992, and 1993.

First up is Pearson's February 4, 1989 reading, which began with the poem "Reaped Figures" and continued with "Coulomb's Law" before concluding with "Descant." Next we have a set from March 21, 1992, which also includes a rendition of "Descant" along with the poem "Planetary Gear." Finally, Pearson's reading on December 4, 1993 also included just two poems: "Cantenary Odes" and "Acoustic Masks."
