  • Anne Waldman and Ted Berrigan read their poem "Memorial Day"
    1/1/73

    Anne Waldman and Ted Berrigan read their poem "Memorial Day"

    This reading of Waldman and Berrigan's poem "Memorial Day" was performed as part of a reading series at 98 Greene Street Loft curated by the poet Ted Greenwald. The video was shot by Sandy Hirsch on the only video format that existed at the time, 1/2 inch open reel video, often referred to as Portapak, and like any video shot in this format from the late 1960s to early 1970s, it is now a very fragile historical document.
