Donald Junkins Poetry Reading (Part 2)

On 7 April 2009, Donald Junkins gave a poetry reading in Pardington Hall on the Rockland campus of Nyack College. The reading was introduced by Prof. Brad McDuffie, and Junkins read and commented on his poems for more than an hour. Most of the poems were from his Cleveland Avenue poetry sequence—poems that reflect on his childhood and on his experiences from those years. He rarely has read those poems in sequence in recent years, so this was a particular treat for the audience. From the front row, I filmed his reading of the poems, only occasionally including his explanations.
