Ruth Stone's NBCC award-winning poems captured on a rare recording of her reading from two groundbreaking collections This rare salon recording of Ruth Stone presents the National Book Award and National Book Critics Circle Award-winning poet, reading from her award-winning Ordinary Words and Simplicity, the collection that many of Stone's most ardent admirers consider her "perfect" book. This CD includes a moving new printed introduction to the poet by Stone's beloved granddaughter, poet Bianca Stone. Capturing the world of Stone's "Poetry House," Look to the Future presents the multidimensional genius, originality, and lyric beauty of Ruth Stone in her own voice, as she reads her favorite poems from both volumes, with a finch occasionally singing beside her.
