Book Artists and Poets Podcast

For the longest time, I’ve had the most wonderful resource bookmarked in my internet favorites and haven’t accessed it until today – the Book Artists and Poets Podcast. Steve Miller, professor and program coordinator of the MFA in the Book Arts Program at the University of Alabama, acts as host of a number of interviews with book artists and poets from all walks of life. He has been interviewing artists for more than three years. As I write this post, I’m listening to Steve’s discussion of his experience jurying Lark Books’ 500 Handmade Books. If you’ve seen a copy of this book, I’m sure you’ll find his comments as interesting as I did.

Among the interviewed artists, you’ll find Hedi Kyle, Julie Chen, Shanna Leino, and Jim Croft. You can listen to the interviews (and read descriptions) on the Book Artists and Poets Podcast website or you can subscribe to the feed for free on iTunes by searching for Book Artists and Poets.
