The plan was that these recordings would be made available online. So in late January &amp; February of 2010 I wandered down to Jim&#8217;s house in Georgetown, Maine,\u00a0 set up my recording equipment, &amp; he would &#8220;lubricate&#8221; his voice with whiskey before reading until he grew tired of it. We did this five or so times over the course of a few weeks, recording some 14 books as well as some unpublished material. I made the mistake of recording these sessions in such a way that they required a great deal of editing to track the poems separately, which in part is why this project never came to fruition during Jim&#8217;s life. Well, I&#8217;m still not done editing the recordings, but what is done I have begun to put online for all to enjoy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 60px; text-align: justify;\"><em><span class=\"s1\">So enjoy.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 60px; text-align: justify;\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Thanks,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 60px; text-align: justify;\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Bertie<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jameskoller.bandcamp.com\/\">jameskoller.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bertie Koller, son\u00a0of poet James Koller (1936-2014), sent the following letter to family &amp; friends a few days back to announce the beginning of a project involving publishing\u00a0online his recordings of his father&#8217;s collected&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[91,1848,93,1],"tags":[1618],"class_list":["post-15035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-poetry","category-poetry-archives","category-poetry-readings","category-uncategorized","tag-james-koller"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15035"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15035\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15040,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15035\/revisions\/15040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
