I pulled this reading from the archives. I went to Tucson way back in 2008 to meet up with Monson. It is recorded at the Tucson Poetry Center if I remember right. There is some occasional noise in the background, but you can always hear Monson clearly. He is reading essays and poems from Other Eccentricities and Vacationland.

I recorded this at a Craigardan residency during the summer of 2024. The zine or booklet mentioned in the reading is here.

I recorded this way back when Elizabeth Willis was at Wesleyan. I remember I was so nervous my stomach was making noise. EW was great about it though. She soldiered on reading. I tried to sit as far away as possible. Fortunately, my stomach didn’t make it onto the recording. Just EW’s wonderful poetry.

I had the priviledge of being on residency last summer with Emily. Here is her reading from the beginning of her novel in progress, Until My Heart Comes Clean.

Here is an old recording from one of Connecticut’s best, Tony Fusco, just added to So I Have Heard.

Here are four wonderful poems by Cynthia Cruz that I found in my archive. I’ve somehow misplaced the entire reading. You can find the all recordings in So I Have Heard on this page.

I just added a recording of Richard Siken reading from Crush to So I Have Heard. Check out his page to hear the recording.
