Thank you for joining us for Raven Talk, Raven’s online podcast.
We are hosting monthly conversations with writers, artists, cultural warriors. Susan and Harold discuss Susan’s forthcoming book Gallery of Postcards and Maps: New and Selected Poems (Salmon Poetry). With an introduction by Ilya Kaminsky, Gallery of Postcards and Maps collects the essential and award-winning poems from Susan Rich’s four books of poetry along with a generous selection of unpublished work. Rich’s poetry spans the last twenty years through a life engaged with human rights, compassion, and questions of travel.
