Description:
Brazilian poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade recorded for the Library of Congress’ Archive of Hispanic Literature on Tape in 1974. Reference Librarians Catalina Gómez and Talía Guzmán-González speak with the director of the Portuguese program at Georgetown University, Vivaldo Andrade dos Santos, and discuss an excerpt from this historic recording. The episode also includes clips of Drummond’s recording for our archive, as well as some translations of his poems. The Archive of Hispanic Literature on Tape (AHLOT) is an audio archive of more than 750 recordings of poets and prose writers from the Luso-Hispanic world reading from their works. Part of the archive is now available for online streaming.
