Poetry in Person in National Poetry Month

During National Poetry Month every April, Knopf send out a Poet-a-Day email to thousands of free subscribers.  Today, April 5, 2010, the featured item comes from my Poetry in Person: 25 Years of Conversation with America's Poets, with special highlights from a 1982 conversation with Nobel Prize winning poet, Derek Walcott.  Walcott speaks with excitement about the making of his poem "XLVIII," from Midsummer, and about Carribean mythmaking.  At the end of the post is an audio clip of Walcott about mythmaking.
