The six Norton Lectures Jorge Luis Borges gave in 1967-68, titled This Craft of Verse, on topics including the riddle of poetry, metaphor, storytelling, translation and a poet's creed. The recording runs over four hours.
Strongly recommended as under-appreciated lectures showing Borges' erudition, delivered in a hypnotic voice from memory.

These lectures by Borges are seriously under-appreciated: ▶ this video The fact that Borges was, apparently at this point blind and doing these lectures essentially from memory is just mind boggling to me.
Borges is the best author most people have never heard of. His stories are mind bending and he's an amazing human being. You can listen to him giving lectures on verse here, his voice is hypnotic: ▶ this video
▶ this video This is a fascinating series of lectures by Borges. Those who enjoy his erudition and his infectious love for English poetry will no doubt enjoy the investment of a few hours.
