Edgar Allan Poe’s timeless poetry read by artists, writers, poets, musicians & magicians, in service to the work and also to the memory of a great friend and fellow traveler on the musical roads least taken, Hal Willner. Kramer has curated an eclectic list of voices to render fresh vision to old words. The music he created that accompanies each reading keeps the light shining on the performer, polishing the space between the poetry and the performance. As a fitting coda, an archival recording of Allen Ginsberg vividly reciting “The Bells” closes out the album. The unaccompanied reading from June 1981, is an excerpt from his ‘Expansive Poetics’ study course at The Naropa School of Disembodied Poets - Boulder, CO
