On today's show, I share my interview with Barbara Hanby about her latest collection of poems, Burn, now out with the University of Pittsburgh Press.
I believe in the last episode, all the way back in July, I indicated that I wanted to switch topics from week to week, from fiction to poetry to memoir to miscellaneous.
In honor of that directive, September will be all poetry, as those are the books that need to be discussed now.
