*Rebroadcast from July 13, 2014**
Daniel talks with Heather Hartley, author of the poetry collection "Knock Knock." Heather is the Paris editor for Tin House magazine and curates Shakespeare & Company Bookshop's weekly reading series in Paris. She was also a visiting online MFA professor at the University of Texas at El Paso. Heather talks about how her move to Paris inspired "Knock Knock," and why much of poetry is either about or inspired by travel. In this interview, she also explains why the works of Dr. Seuss were such a huge influence on her poetry, and why humor is so very important in writing poetry. http://www.heatherhartleyink.com/
For today's Poem of the Week, Heather Hartley treats us to a poem from her forthcoming collection, Adult Swim.
