Daphne Marlatt and Tom Raworth: November 3, 1976
The Poetry Center presents Daphne Marlatt, visiting from Vancouver, British Columbia, and Tom Raworth, from London, UK, who spent considerable time during the 1970s living with his family and teaching in the US, and was at the time resident in San Francisco. Each of the poets reads extended selections from their respective work. Marlatt reads from Our Lives (Truck Press, 1976) and from her epic poem Steveston (from Vancouver's longlived Talonbooks, 1974). Raworth reads from a span of his books, including Lion, Lion (from Asa Benveniste's Trigram Press, 1970), Common Sense (Zephyrus Image, in Healdsburg, CA), the then newly-publlished Logbook (Poltroon Press, 1976), illustrated by Frances Butler, printed by Alastair Johnston, in Berkeley, and The Mask (Poltroon Press, also new in 1976). The poets are introduced by Poetry Center director Lewis MacAdams, with the program taking place in the erstwhile Barbary Coast Room of the César Chavez Student Union at San Francisco State University.
