Mark Doty reads poems from his third book, My Alexandria (1993), together with poems that would be published two years later in Atlantis (1995). Reflections on the act of description recur throughout the poems, which inhabit Provincetown, Boston, and New York City. Doty also reads one poem set in Tucson from his second book, Bethlehem in Broad Daylight (1991).

Jason Brown reads "She" from his short-story collection Why the Devil Chose New England for His Work. This reading was given alongside a reading by poet Steve Orlen.
