From the back cover:

"Timing 61:20"

"To call Archibald MacLeish a major poet is to indicate much about his contribution to letters, and too little about his present-day significance. Statesman, soldier, journalist, Pulitzer prize winner, Librarian of Congress, teacher and playwright as well, he has managed, in a schizophrenic age, to act as a whole man; to be neither Actor, dominant, nor Thinker, in full retreat, but a responsible humanist whose participation follows from his profound awareness of realities.

Archibald MacLeish may also be heard reading Thoreau's CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE and his own poetry on Caedmon recordings."
