Update: 2023-07-31

Description

In Episode 75 of PennSound podcasts, Willard Spiegelman sits down with Al Filreis at the Kelly Writers House's Wexler Studio for a discussion on the underappreciated 20th century poet Amy Clampitt. The duo embark on a long exploration of Spiegelman's biography on Clampitt, Nothing Stays Put: The Life and Poetry of Amy Clampitt (Knopf, 2023). Spieigelman reveals the challenges he faced connecting the dots on simple elements of Clampitt's biographical record, noting gaps in Clampitt's earlier life that she avoided discussing with even her close friends and family.
