Hayden Carruth reads work written from the 1960s to the early 1990s, from his Collected Shorter Poems, 1946-1991 (1992), published the same year as this reading. Many of the poems embody the people, places, and rural culture of Vermont. By request, he closes the reading with a poem about fellow poet James Wright.
