“The collected interviews: the interview was for Ted Berrigan a form as much present as the poem. One thinks of the poet talking out loud, the motion of his voice as measure of thought—the pause and pace and the register of sound as perception arriving via not eye but ear. ‘You will hear his wild tremulous wistful reflective engaging way of saying it in any work of his that you read or hear.'”
—Robert Creeley
