John Berryman reads from the Dream Songs (1968) 2/6

This is an extremely rare recording -- as far as I know the only recording in existence of John Berryman reading at the University of Iowa in 1968. I ripped this directly from the master cassette.

Yes, one of the great poets of his (or any) generation. This reading is embedded in me.
