Roethke Memorial Poetry Reading recordings
Biographical/Historical Note: Theodore Roethke (1908 - 1963) taught at the University of
Washington from 1947 until his death in 1963. The Theodore Roethke Memorial
Poetry Readings were begun in 1964 to honor his memory by bringing notable
contemporary poets to the University of Washington campus to give a reading of
their works and, when possible, to meet with students enrolled in the
department's advanced poetry writing courses. The annual Roethke Readings,
co-sponsored by the Department of English, the University of Washington
Graduate School, and the Theodore Roethke Memorial Fund Committee, are normally
scheduled on the Thursday in May closest to Roethke's birthday (May 25), and
since 1972 have been held in Roethke Auditorium, 130 Kane Hall, on the UW
campus. They are free and open to the public, and regularly attract large
audiences.
Scope and Content: Audio recordings of the annual Roethke Memorial Poetry Reading.
Restrictions on Use: Recordings may not be reproduced. Rights retained by the
