Description

Anthony Hecht reading his poetry at Bard College in October 1974. Introduced by Irma Brandeis. Hecht was a graduate of Bard College, and later a professor at the school. His work combines an appreciation for traditional forms with an urgent desire to confront human horror and violence, inspired by his own nervous breakdown in the years after his WWII platoon liberated the Flossenburg concentration camp.
