PEN Podcast: Philip Fried Reads from the New American Poetry Anthology

September 28, 2015

The New American Poetry Anthology 1945 was banned in Colorado because of poems like Gergory Corso’s “Marriage,” which some claimed went against core American values. In honor of Banned Books Week, the PEN podcast features Philip Fried reading from the collection. This reading is from the 2013 PEN event Paradise Banned: Poetry Readings from Banned Books.
