Charles Hammond Gibson, grand old poet of New England, spent Saturday afternoon in Lamont's Woodbury Poetry Room, listening to the first replay of his own works.
Gibson, a white-haired, chipper man of 80, sat with Frederick C. Packard, associate professor of Public Speaking, and gave a rapid-fire commentary on his own readings, which will be kept at Lamont.
He laughed at himself reading an interview, which ran in the Boston "Herald" about three years ago.
"This is embarrassing," he said. "I didn't know I was being recorded when I read this."
Gibson's poems and odes included "The Symbol of Two Hemispheres," a tribute to Winston Churchill which originally ran in the "Herald," and an ode in honor of Queen Elizabeth, which received a letter of thanks from the Queen.
