Energy spectra and angular distributions of tritons from the ${}_{}{}^{14}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$(${}_{}{}^6{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$,$t$)${}_{}{}^{17}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ reaction have been measured at 34 MeV ${}_{}{}^6{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$ incident energy and between ${\theta }_{\mathrm{lab}}=5\mathrm{}° \mathrm{and} 45°$. The observed selectivity and the forward peaked angular distributions suggest a predominantly direct reaction mechanism. ${}_{}{}^{17}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ states with main 3p-2h configuration are tentatively identified. The experimental data have been analyzed in terms of Hauser-Feshbach and exact-finite-range distorted-wave Born-approximation theories. ${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$ spectroscopic strengths are extracted.
