MFA professor interviewed for national poetry project
by Kathleen McCoy |
Anne Caston, UAA Associate Professor of Creative Writing/Poetry and core faculty member in UAA's Low-Residency Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program, was recently interviewed in a special poetry program featured by the Library of Congress.
Caston and fellow poet, Laura Orem (Pennsylvania), were interviewed by Grace Cavalieri for the weekly radio broadcast and Web podcasts of "The Poet and The Poem." Anne read selections from her forthcoming poetry collection, The Empress of Longing, and talked with Cavalieri about writing, UAA's MFA Program, the students who study here, and the artist's life and work.
Many national poets are featured in "The Poet and the Poem" interview series, including such notables as Louise Gluck, Robert Pinsky, Billy Collins, W.S. Merwin, and the late W.D. Snodgrass. The Web podcasts, in alphabetical order, are available at the Library of Congress Poet and Poem Web site.
