EllistonWordleThe Elliston Project holds over seven hundred recorded readings and lectures given under the auspices of the University of Cincinnati Department of English and Comparative Literature and the U.C. Libraries since 1951. Material includes readings and lectures on poetry by those who have served as George Elliston Poet in Residence, among whom are Robert Frost, Denise Levertov, Louise Glück, Thom Gunn, and C.D. Wright. Other major figures, including Czeslaw Milosz, Derek Walcott, Seamus Heaney, and Rita Dove, are also represented, as are many prose writers and a wide range of poets at various stages of their careers. Readings in this ongoing audio archive feature poets’ comments on their work; both complete performances and individual poems are accessible.

Learn More about the George Elliston Poetry Fund and Elliston Poets in Residence, and follow upcoming Events sponsored by the Elliston Poetry Fund.

The The Elliston Project: Poetry Readings and Lectures at the University of Cincinnati is available on the OhioLINK Digital Resource Commons (DRC). Materials in this collection are made available for non-commercial, educational use per the Creative Commons license.
