Interview with Erica Hunt

On November 14, 2019, Erica Hunt visited the Kelly Writers House — to give a reading, participate in the recording of an episode of PoemTalk about one of her own poems, and to join several colleagues in the Wexler Studio of KWH for a long, detailed discussion/interview about her work. That interview, conducted collaboratively by William J. Harris, Aldon Nielsen, Tyrone Williams, and Al Filreis, is now available HERE. Hunt’s reading was recorded and the video is available HERE. Erica Hunt is a poet, essayist, and author of Local History, Arcade, Piece Logic, Time Flies Right Before the Eyes, A Day and Its Approximates, and most recently, Veronica: A Suite In X Parts. Her poems and nonfiction have appeared in BOMB, Boundary 2, The Brooklyn Rail, Conjunctions, The Los Angeles Review of Books, Poetics Journal, Tripwire, FENCE, Hambone, and In the American Tree, among other publications. Hunt is coeditor of the anthology Letters to the Future: Black Women/Radical Writing from Kore Press. Hunt’s PennSound page includes many readings and many recordings of poems. Among these are:

Arcade (3:12): MP3
