The Poetry Center presents James Broughton and Helen Adam, presenting their poetry at a special reading held at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, with their friend and peer Robert Duncan on hand to introduce each of them. Broughton reads an extended set of poems, drawing on Erogeny: A Geographical Expedition (1976) and Odes for Odd Occasions (1977), both from Manroot Press, along with selections from Seeing the Light (City Lights Books, 1977), and from The Androgyne Journal. Adam, visiting from New York City, where she moved after leaving San Francisco (the move in part was in order to work on a New York production of her ballad opera San Francisco's Burning), reads and sings for a vigorous program of her postmodern ballads and songs, from Turn Again to Me and Other Poems (Kulchur Foundation, 1977) and earlier works.
