Filreis' brief write-up of the new episode notes that both poems can be found in Random House's Edwin Denby: the Complete Poems (edited by Ron Padgett), and offers the provenance of the tracks under consideration, which "were recorded and edited by Jacob Burckhardt between the years 1976 and 1983, on a CD originally issued on disc in 2004." He also points out that "'Ciampino: Envoi' in fact recalls Jacob as a young child in Rome and New York."
