This might not continue for the entire month here at Marginalia, but for this second episode in April, we’re continuing with the National Poetry Month theme.

Today we’re joined by poet Michael Prior, a writer, teacher and editor. He is an Associate Professor of English and ACM Mellon Faculty Fellow at Macalester College. This month he is the Writer in Residence at Wichita State University and will give a reading tonight at the Ulrich Museum of Art on Wichita State’s campus.

His current collections of poetry are titled Model Disciple and Burning Province. And I’m thrilled to welcome to the conversation today Dr. Katie Lanning, associate professor of English at Wichita State University. Here’s our conversation with Michael Prior.
