Robert Duncan — USA: Poetry, NET Outtakes Series: November 2, 1965

The Poetry Center presents Robert Duncan, writing and working with recent poems, from his "Passages" series, and discussing his poetics in response to questions by filmmaker and poet Richard O. Moore. The footage was filmed on November 2, 1965, in the home of Duncan and his partner, artist Jess (Collins), on 20th Street in San Francisco's Mission District.

The "Second Edition" NET Outtakes Series programs were made in 1978 by The Poetry Center's American Poetry Archives staff. Assembled from unused 16-millimeter black and white film footage shot during production of the original 15-minute USA: Poetry television programs (produced in 1965–66 for National Educational Television by Richard O. Moore of the film unit of KQED-TV, San Francisco), the outtakes footage is arranged here in the original shooting sequence. Note, some silent footage appears among the outtakes. Funding for The Poetry Center's NET Outtakes Series was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts.
