Already passing into something else: 40th anniversary celebration of Burning Deck Press

PennSound Podcasts

For Episode 25 of PennSound podcasts, Nick DeFina created this 20-minute audio selection from the five-volume set of recordings made at Brown University at the May 2001 celebration of (then) forty years of Burning Deck Press publishing of books, chapbooks and pamphlets, by, of course, Rosmarie and Keith Waldrop. We hope this excerpt entices you to listen to the whole, itself an aptly remarkable testimony to the range, longevity and generous persistence of the Waldrops in Providence. The Waldrops, of course, are no stranger to Jacket: we've published reviews, video clips, and (among many other items) Anne Dewey's essay on Olsonian poetics in Rosmarie's work.
