Interview with Lynn Ungar
Lynn Ungar came to my attention through her tremendous poem, Pandemic, which went viral during the pandemic. I talk to her here about the connection between her work as a minister and her work as a poet, and what it’s like to write and share poetry in response to these strange times we live in.
Lynn Ungar’s first book of poetry, Blessing the Bread, earned her fans around the world, and her latest work which includes, Breathe and These Days, can be found on her website.

Interview with Ellen Bass

Ellen Bass is one of my favorite poets and people. Her work is instructional, showing us not only how to create beauty on the page, but also how to live it off the page. She calls herself a praise poet because she never forgets that we’re going to die - which is why each poem has so much gravity and so much light in it. She is one of my mentors, and a writer who I continue to learn from. You do...

Interview with Maya Stein

Maya Stein is a writer I rely on to help me understand how to live in this world with sensitivity, artistry, and grace. Her observations on living, from a poet’s point of view, are always illuminating. Maya has taught me and so many writers to pay attention to the smallest things; the peach hanging from the tree, the trash dredged up from the lake, the conversation overheard at the filling stat...
