Gary Snyder — USA: Poetry, NET Outtakes Series: July, 1965

The Poetry Center presents Gary Snyder, filmed at the July 1965 Berkeley Poetry Conference, and then reading from his poetry in what appears to be a television studio at KQED-TV, producers of the program series. Snyder had recently returned from his long sojourn in Asia — living and studying in Japan and travelling in India — and the following year will take up residence in the Sierra Nevada foothills in North Central California. 

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.
