Danse Russe by William Carlos Williams (1883 - 1963)Author: LibriVox
Williams spent his life as a doctor practicing pediatric medicine in northern New Jersey, a few miles west of New York City. During the work day, between seeing patients, he often dashed off poems on the backs of blank prescription pads that he kept in his pocket. This particular poem was written in just such a spontaneous way, after seeing the Russian Ballet perform in Manhattan. Each of the 16 readers in this collection took the challenge to make the same kind of leap - reading it spontaneously.(Summary by Alan Davis-Drake) Language: en Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |
