Carol Muske-Dukes

Carol Muske-Dukes answers possibly the dumbest question Will Corwin has ever asked (it was meant to be ironic!): Is Arnold Schwartzenegger an avid contemporary poetry fan? The answer is, as always: Maa-ree-ah. Carol reads from her most recent book of poetry, Sparrow, and gives us a taste of her upcoming work, Twin Cities. She talks about the dual ideas of memorizing and reciting poetry and reading it on the page, and explains her groundbreaking program in California (where she is Poet Laureate) Magic Poetry Bus, which introduces and engages kids in a dialogue with the greats of poetry (27 minutes).
