In this month’s podcast, Stephen Burt talks with Editor at Large Natalie Shapero about the least expected parts of being a gender-variant writer, ethical questions in book reviewing, and how one might find oneself cold-calling a famous poet to ask what a word means.
Stephen or Stephanie Burt is Professor of English at Harvard and the author of several books of poetry and literary criticism–among them Belmont (2013), The Art of the Sonnet, with David Mikics (2010), and the chapbook All-Season Stephanie (2015)–as well as a regular contributor to Boston Review, the New York Times Book Review, PN Review, and other journals in Britain and the US.
