Dear friends:

In the past year our PENNsound recordings - free sound files - were
downloaded 8 million times.

Now we've added the complete recordings of Ezra Pound. We hope you'll go
to the site and have a listen! See below for details.

PENNsound is pleased to announce

    The Complete Poetry Recordings of Ezra Pound

    http://www.writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Pound.html 

edited, with an extended listening guide, by Richard Sieburth.

The PENNsound Pound includes many rare recordings, as well as a set of
private recordings, made in 1962-1972, whose existence had not
previously been known. Sieburth provides a detailed essay to accompany
the recordings, which cover Pound's two major recording sessions, at
Harvard in 1939 and in Washington, DC, in 1958. In addition, we include
Pound's 1942 reading of Canto XLVI, broadcast on Italian radio as part
of his radio speeches; Pound's reading at Spoleto in 1967; Pound's
reading of his "Confucian Odes" (Spoleto, 1970), and a private recording
of three Cantos from the early 1970s.

We are grateful to New Directions Publishing Corporation and the heirs
of Ezra Pound for making these recordings available for noncommercial
and educational use. As with all PENNsound recordings, these file are
downloadable MP3 sound files.

PENNsound was launched on January 1, 2006 by Charles Bernstein and Al
Filreis. We are currently making available about 8,000 MP3 files and
continue to expand rapidly. In the last year, over eight million
individual sound files were downloaded from PENNsound.

Other recent additions to PENNsound include the complete recordings of
William Carlos Williams, and extensive collections of recordings by
Jackson Mac Low, Susan Howe, Anne Tardos, Anne Waldman, Myung Mi Kim,
Charles Reznikofff, Alan Davies, Tracie Morris, Bruce Andrews, Barbara
Guest, Nicole Brossard, Robin Blaser, Amiri Baraka, Bern Porter, Robert
Grenier, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, Allen Ginsberg, Brian Kim Stefans,
Kenneth Goldsmith & many others. We also host two poetry radio programs,
Close Listening, with Charles Bernstein; and Cross-Cultural Poetics with
Leonard Schwartz. Al Filreis hosts our monthly PENNsound podcast.
