The Poetry Center presents Robin Blaser and Ebbe Borregaard, reading their work at the San Francisco State University Student Center, in the erstwhile Barbary Coast Room. Blaser, on a rare visit from Vancouver, BC, returns to what he regards as his home, San Francisco, to read from his poetry, with a declaration that he's leaving that mode of writing poetry behind him. Borregaard, saying he had intended to present only songs, opens by reading his poems, then, returning to the microphone after Blaser's reading and a break, he reads from a prose piece he calls "Notes of Arrogance and Possibility" — punctuated then overtaken by Blaser's extended interventions. Lewis MacAdams as Poetry Center director provides the introductions, dedicating the program to the goddess Isis.

The Poetry Center, in one of several special programs marking its 20th anniversary with celebratory readings at the San Francisco Museum of Art, presents Robert Creeley and John Wieners. Creeley reads primarily newer poems, with a few earlier poems as collected in his book For Love: Poems 1950–1960 (Scribners, 1962). Wieners reads from manuscript, writings contemporary with that published in Behind the State Capitol, or Cincinatti Pike (Good Gay Poets Press, 1975) and from his recent Selected Poems (Grossman, 1972). The poets are introduced by Poetry Center director Kathleen Fraser, who in introducing Wieners reads a statement he'd written that day for the purpose. For the early part of Wieners' performance he is accompanied by piano, a volunteer piano player having been requested from the audience by Creeley to entertain with some music during the break.
