    Randall Jarrell
    Mar 1 2023

    Soft-spoken Randall Jarrell was a poet and writer who served in the position we now call "Poet Laureate of the United States." He died in 1965. In his life he published 15 books, including children's literature and literary criticism. Reading his biography on Wikipedia gives you some sense of his life but it does not fully capture the tenor of his voice. This episode includes snippets of interviews he conducted with Richard Wilbur and Robert Frost.
