Drunk as a Poet on Payday

Today on the show we have poet Christian Teresi, talking about his new book, What Monsters You Make of Them, recently published by Red Hen Press. Teresi has published poems in AGNI, The American Poetry Review, Kenyon Review, Blackbird, and many other places. He has also translated Book 7 of Nonnus of Panopolis’s Dionysiaca, the longest surviving text from Ancient Greece, as a part of a collection from several translators. His work has been supported by a fellowship from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. He holds degrees from Binghamton University and George Mason University.
