The Collected Poems

Howard Nemerov

Howard Nemerov was twice poet laureate — with twenty years between appointments — and a Pulitzer Prize winner. His poetry followed traditional forms, though his thoughts did not, and he alternated between acute insights into humanity and pure playfulness. This week, Leigh, P. T., and Dr. C explore Nemerov’s life and poetry as well as his prose (as he wrote some half dozen novels as well).
