Today on the show we have the poet David Baker—but he joins us to talk about another poet, the late Stanley Plumly, his good friend, and whose new Collected Poems he has coedited with Michael Collier.

Stanley Plumly published twelve collections of poetry along with four books of prose, including Posthumous Keats: A Personal Biography and Elegy Landscapes: Constable and Turner and the Intimate Sublime. His 2009 collection, Old Heart, won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the Paterson Poetry Prize, and was a finalist for the National Book Award. He taught for many years in the MFA program at the University of Maryland, and he served as Maryland’s poet laureate as well.

David Baker is the author of thirteen books of poetry (and new one is on the way!), as well as several books and anthologies of poetry criticism.
