Listen Up! (The Poetry Foundation on W. D. Snodgrass)
To our readers, an apology-- BOA has been giving you so many good reads lately, your eyes are probably exhausted. To make amends, we offer this great audio discussion from the Poetry Foundation on the late W. D. Snodgrass!
The discussion, titled "People Don't Read This Way Anymore," explores the late, great W.D. Snodgrass's formalism, dark humor, and passionate reading style. It is part of the Poetry Off the Shelf series, in which Producer Curtis Fox and Ernest Hilbert examine the world of contemporary American poetry with readings by poets, interviews with critics, and short poetry documentaries. So go ahead- get your BOA fix, learn about one of our favorite writers, and give your eyes a rest!
If this is your first encounter with Snodgrass' work, head over to the BOA Bookstore and see what this poet really has to offer!
