Poetry That Explores Racial Lines

ailishhopper.com

Assistant Professor of Peace Studies at Goucher University in Towson, Ailish Hopper, joins Tom to discuss her collection of poetry called "Dark-Sky Society." Her poems are largely about race and the uncomfortable color lines between whites and blacks.  She writes in verse that one critic describes as "coiled and sprung," and deals with the legacies and complexities of the racial divide in America. 

Host, Midday (M-F 12:00-1:00)
