Max Garland named Wisconsin Poet Laureate
I've been honored this year to join the Wisconsin Poet Laureate commission, and today am excited to announce that Max Garland has been appointed as our state's new laureate for 2013 - 2014. In honor of the announcement, I'm embedding the interview I did with Max a few years ago as part of my miPOradio podcast, "Hard to Say." It features Max reading from his first book, The Postal Confessions , and talking about his years working as a rural mail carrier. The episode was produced for miPOradio by Didi Menendez.
