Paul Auster, visiting from his home in Brooklyn, New
York, addresses the lyric work of Objectivist poet Charles Reznikoff for
The Poetry Center's 17th annual Oppen Lecture on Twentieth Century Poetics.
He begins by reading "It Reminds Me of Something that Once Happened to
My Mother," an essay recounting his earliest encounter with Reznikoff,
and concludes by reading "The Decisive Moment," an exhaustive exploration
of Reznikoff's poetics. Steve Dickison introduces Auster.
