WORDS ON A WIRE: Sharon Bryan (extended interview)

An online-exclusive extended interview with poet Sharon Bryan, author of the collection “Sharp Stars.”  Bryan talks about why she tends to write in long, traversing sentences, and why she feels the importance of white space on the page is just as important as the words that fill it.  She also talks about her beginnings as a writer, and how she copes as a writer from the West living on the East Coast.

Bryan also reads this week’s Poem of the Week: “Body and Soul” from the collection “Sharp Stars.

Aired Nov. 4, 2012.
