Description
Author, poet, and political activist, Kay Boyle, reads a chapter from her novella “The Crazy Hunter”, about a horse that went blind, as well as an essay about Dylan Thomas entitled “A Declaration for 1955”. In the second half of the program, the author talks with Kay Bonetti, about her life. They discuss the similarities between Reagan and McCarthy, the counter-culture of the 1960s compared to the milieu of Paris in the 1920s, as well as Boyle’s memories of such luminaries as Ezra Pound, James Joyce, William Carlos Williams, and others.Musical Selections
