Rexroth reads at the San Francisco Poetry Center

JUL 13 1955

Recorded by the Poetry Center at the Little Theater, San Francisco State College, on 13 July 1955, less than three months before Rexroth would MC the 6 Gallery reading. He reads from One Hundred Poems from the Chinese and In Defense of the Earth and talks about translation. This is contemporaneous audio of the man at the centre of the San Francisco Renaissance in the exact year of the reading nobody recorded.
