A Voice Box

PennSound:

We're finishing off the week with a massively exciting new series page, which will give you plenty of listening for the weekend and beyond. Actually, calling A Voice Box a series is a bit of a misnomer, as this website — compiled and edited by Andrew Kenower — collects, in his words, "recordings of the recent past," taken from a variety of reading series and venues throughout the Bay Area. In much the same way that many of the classic recordings housed on PennSound exist solely because someone had the presence of mind to bring their reel-to-reel deck or Walkman to the reading, Kenower's archive fever has created a wide-ranging document of San Francisco's lively literary scene as it continually develops through events taking place in bookstores, libraries, galleries and poets' homes.
