We're grateful to Mark Nowak for organizing this event commemorating the 100th birthday of Ted Enslin (1925–2011), the avant-garde poet long associated with Maine's wilderness. The all-star roster for this celebration, which was held over Zoom on March 25th of this year, included John Taggart, Ben Friedlander, Denver Butson, John Phillips, Jonathan Skinner, Margaret Randall, Maria Damon, Mark Nowak, Michael Heller, and Stacy Szymaszek.
You'll find the complete audio from the event on PennSound's Ted Enslin author page along with ten full readings, from a 1985 reading at the venerable Woodland Pattern Book Center to his final reading 2009, held as part of Skinner's Steel Bar Reading Series. In-between, there are recordings from WMCS-AM, Bowling Green State University, Granary Books, and the University of Maine, among others.
