The first-ever Poetry Center reading was given by William Carlos Williams in October of 1939. Though Dr. Williams read at the Poetry Center many times over the years, there is only one audio recording of him here-- an appearance in January of 1954. This newly-posted recording is an excerpt of that evening. In this selection, Williams reads "A Sort of A Song," "The Maneuver," "Seafarer," "The Three Graces," "Paterson, Episode 17," "The Descent" and "Fish."
