Rockdrill 1: ROBERT CREELEY I Know a Man

'I write poems because it pleases me, very much - I think that is true. In any case, we live as we can, each day another - there is no use in counting. No more, say, to live than what there is, to live. I want the poem as close to this fact as I can bring it; or it, me.'

Rockdrill is a series of unusual new audio CDs commissioned by the Contemporary Poetics Research Centre at Birkbeck College, London, & produced by Colin Still and Birdie Hall of Optic Nerve.

The series includes the work by British and American poets, and combines new and archival recordings. Each CD is remarkable for the scope and range of material included, and for the quality of production. This unique new sound library is scheduled to grow in directions suggested by the initial list.
