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.
