Today on the show we have Felicia Zamora with her new book Interstitial Archaeology, an Editor’s Pick for the Wisconsin Poetry Series. Like the title says, it’s a book that digs down into undiscovered spaces; but it’s also one that pushes out, makes those spaces have a place in the surface world. There’s such a breadth of artistic craft in this book, and it’s incredibly smart and funny at times—any book that quotes from The Simpsons is going to have a special place in my heart.
Along with Interstitial Archeaology, Zamora is the author of eight books of poetry including the forthcoming Murmuration Archives, a part of the Akrílica Series with Noemi Press. Her work has won the Loraine Williams Poetry Prize from The Georgia Review, Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Awards, the C.P. Cavafy Prize from Poetry International, and she served as the 2017 Poet Laureate of Fort Collins, CO. Currently, she is an associate professor of poetry at the University of Cincinnati, and a poetry editor for Colorado Review.
