Anne Sexton, March 10, 1966, reads "Her Kind" (from her book To Bedlam) and "Two Sons" - "a bitter poem," she says, and comments in particular on the genesis of the latter poem. She follows by reading "Woman With Girdle," written in the voice of a man ("he loves her body"). The full outtakes video program includes Sexton reading and talking about multiple poems, with filmmaker Richard O. Moore, at Sexton's home in Weston, Massachusetts, in the poet's study and outside the house, with Moore and with her family, husband Alfred Sexton and their two daughters.
The "Second Edition" NET Outtakes Series programs were made in 1978 by The Poetry Center's American Poetry Archives staff, assembled from 16-millimeter black & white film outtakes from the original 15-minute USA: Poetry television programs, which were converted to video, edited, and presented in the original shooting sequence. Original funding for The Poetry Center NET Outtakes Series was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. ©© The Poetry Center, San Francisco State University
