She Had Some Books: An Interview with Poet and NEA Literary Arts Specialist Katy Day

DMZ Colony by Don Mee Choi,  The Galleons: Poems by Rick Barot,  Deluge by Leila Chatti,  Catrachos: Poems by Roy G. Guzmán,  A More Perfect Union by Teri Ellen Cross Davis.     DAY: I’m in a unique position in that I have access to so much incredible poetry through my job.

And I’m signed up for the Academy of American Poets’ Poem-a-Day, where they send a poem every morning via email. Once I’ve found one or two poems by a poet that I’m really drawn to, I’m compelled to read more of their work to find more poems like the ones I love.
