Recommendations from our Audio Video Library
Cornelius Eady, November 6, 1991.
Eady delivers a reading everyone can dance to, with titles including “Miss Johnson Dances for the First Time,” “Victims of the Latest Dance Craze,” “Aerial Ballet,” “Johnny Laces Up His Red Shoes,” and many other homages to movement. The poet’s reading style is lovely and gentle, holding the energy of his subject matter without ever forcing it.

We also recommend: Ellen Bryant Voigt
February 20, 1985
Now that you’re ready to dance, tune in to Ellen Bryant Voigt’s reading from 1985. Before reading her final poem, “Dancing with Poets,” she asks “Do the poets in Arizona dance?” and is assured that they do.

The Poetry Center’s Audio Video Library features recordings from the Center’s long-running Reading Series and other readings presented under the auspices of the Center. The AVL includes multiple recordings of poets who have read for the Poetry Center numerous times over the years. Many of these recordings are accompanied by photographs from our archive. As we continue to digitize our recordings, these materials as well as new readings will be added to the AVL, so make sure you continue to visit us at http://avl.arizona.edu.
