This episode, the first in a special three-part series, chronicles Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith’s travels to rural New Mexico in January 2018 as a pilot for her second-year project, “American Conversations: Celebrating Poems in Rural Communities.” Anya Creightney of the Poetry and Literature Center will reflect on the trip, and we’ll hear from a few of the folks our poet laureate met on the road.
