Michael Earl Craig on Shoeing Horses, Poetry, Grad School, Feedback, Raymond Carver, Family, and Creative Inheritance

In today's flashback, an outtake from Episode 308, my conversation with poet Michael Earl Craig. This episode first aired on August 31, 2014.

Craig is originally from Dayton, Ohio. He is the author of several poetry collections, most recently Iggy Horse, which was published by Wave Books this past spring. His other collections include Woods and Clouds Interchangeable (Wave Books, 2019), Talkativeness (Wave Books, 2014), Thin Kimono (Wave Books, 2010), Yes, Master (Fence Books, 2006), Can You Relax in My House, (Fence Books, 2002), and the chapbook Jombang Jet (Factory Hollow Press, 2012). He lives in the Shields Valley, near Livingston, Montana, where he runs a full-time farrier practice. He was the 2015-2017 Poet Laureate of Montana.
