PoemTalk #198: on Three Poems from Larry Price's '1/0'

This week saw the release of the latest episode in the PoemTalk Podcast series, which focuses on "three prose-poem sections or pages" from Larry Price's newest book, 1/0. This program breaks somewhat with PoemTalk convention in that the author is part of the discussion, alongside host Al Filreis, William Fuller (who chose the poems that were considered), and Sophia DuRose.

Filreis' brief write-up of the new episode notes that "Larry's PennSound page at the time of our conversation did not yet include recordings of this new writing, so we asked Larry to perform these poems toward the start of the episode. Earlier on the day of the session Larry spent time in the Wexler Studio at the Kelly Writers House recording more poems from 1/0 and other selections from his previous books." He also gives a preview of the next program's subject and guests, but we won't spoil that here.

PoemTalk is a joint production of PennSound and the Poetry Foundation, aided by the generous support of Nathan and Elizabeth Leight.
