1: The Man in the Poem
Since Pound and Williams, there has been a revolution in American poetry, the writers of tonight's programme argue, in favour of the speaking voice. They illustrate the nature of this revolution, as they see it, with quotations in verse and prose from Pound, Williams, and Charles Olsen , among other writers.
