Barbara Guest and Bobbie Louise Hawkins: February 14, 1974

The Poetry Center presents Barbara Guest and Bobbie Louise Hawkins, each in an early appearance recorded to video, reading from their poetry at San Francisco State University. Hawkins, then resident in nearby Bolinas, CA, reads from recent work, with publications noted in the introduction to her reading including Own Your Body (Black Sparrow Press, Sparrow pamphlets, 1973) and 15 Minutes (imminent at the time of the reading from Wesley Tanner's Arif Press, 1974). Guest, visiting from New York City, reads poem from her books The Blue Stairs (Corinth Books, 1968) and Moscow Mansions (Viking, 1973), then, from manuscript, The Countess from Minneapolis (subsequently from Burning Deck, 1976). The poets are introduced, in turn, by Poetry Center director Kathleen Fraser.
