I don't think it could have been that early, because #49 was written partly as a response to the imprisonment of the Living Theatre in Brazil. Not sure what year that was. But thanks.

It's nice to hear this stuff. Diane made several recordings for dial-a-poem and related LPs over a period of a few years.

Giorno's notes for the first DIAL A POEM release lists this reading as NYC, '69. And you're right, the Living Theatre imprisonment was '71.

Perhaps only her hairdresser knows for sure.

[KenkaiBanto]

Where was she reading, do you know? And when?

[spookynorman]

Recorded in New York, March 21, 1969, and used as part of the dial-a-poem project.

[KenkaiBanto]

Who read this thing? Not the author.

[spookynorman]

Yes, that's her.
