@@vicalieg Auld Commentarian, My comment is a statement of fact, not a grumble. And by the way, Baz Bunting was one of the great grumblers. Fortunately I have an extensive audio archive of poetry readings, many cassette tapes transferred to CDs. Among these are several recordings of Herr Bunting reading Briggflatts, & Odes, so the truncated state of this video doesn't much vex me. CHEERS and kudos for being tuned in to Basil's music. (I have yet to cross paths with a John Berryman enthusiast who has even heard of Basil Bunting, and my path has crossed with too many John Berryman enthusiasts, oy!).

rut thuds the rim, like "Incan stone" as Ginsberg said
This is great - even though it cuts off at an odd place. Is there footage of him reading the rest of the poem? Thanks, for this
