WORDS ON A WIRE: John Hoppenthaler

Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

  We welcome John Hoppenthaler back to the program to talk about his latest collection, Domestic Garden.  Hoppenthaler explains why in today's publishing world it's not just enough to write poetry, but perform and market it effectively.   He talks about why the metaphor of the "garden" played such a strong role in his latest collection, and he describes having stayed in poet Elizabeth Bishop's house for a week.  

For our Poem of the Week, Hoppenthaler reads "Sleeping in Elizabeth Bishop's Bedroom."

Aired Nov 29, 2015.
