Recording Part 01 made on Sept 27 1965 with Arobateau (22 years of age) reading poems, playing piano, and guitar, and singing. Reads "Wasteland" by T.S. Eliot to compare to their own poems. Pet birds make noise in the background at certain points during the recording. Arobateau discusses an inspirational experience of talking to a secretary at a poetry magazine and that they are going to bring a poem they wrote on their 21st birthday there to try and get published, they then read it out loud. Recording Part 02 is more poetry reading and Arobateau mentions they are attempting to record all of their works. Recording ends with more piano, guitar and singing.
