Rippling Pages: Interviews with Writers

Baron Wormser on Silence, Solitude and Shakespeare


Listen Later

"There was a lot of solitude quiet and silence, and I believe poetry exists in relation to silence."


Baron Wormser, a former National Endowment for the Arts and Guggenheim Fellow, is here to talk about his eleventh collection of poetry, THE HISTORY HOTEL, and THE ROAD WASHES OUT IN SPRING , an account of a poet living life off the grid.
