Description

J. D. McClatchy (b. 1945) is one of America's foremost poet-critics. His five collections of poetry, including the Pulitzer Prize-short listed Hazmat, are widely acclaimed for their formal ingenuity, coupled with their fluency of thought and feeling. From this page, you can hear the voice of J. D. McClatchy reading three of his poems, "My Mammogram," "The Agave," and "Little Elegy."

Poetry Archive exists to help make poetry accessible, relevant and enjoyable to a wide audience. It came into being as a result of a meeting, in a recording studio, between Andrew Motion, soon after he became U.K. Poet Laureate in 1999, and the recording producer, Richard Carrington. They agreed about how enjoyable and illuminating it is to hear poets reading their work and about how regrettable it was that, even in the recent past, many important poets had not been properly recorded.
