Haley interviews A.M. Juster, poet, translator, and author. For many years he lived a double life as an undercover poet while working in senior roles in the federal government and biotech industry. His work has appeared in Poetry, The Paris Review, and The Hudson Review. And next fall W.W. Norton will release his translation of Petrarch's Canzoniere. This episode discusses Juster's surprising trajectory into poetry, his first children's book Girlatee, and how to give children a love for the beauty of language. Learn more about the children's literature available from Word on Fire Votive.
