From the 2013 Living Writers Archives: Dedicated to the Memory of Larry Goldstein
Today on LivingWriters we return to October 2013 to hear poet and scholar Laurence Goldstein talk about the life and work of Robert Hayden, in preparation for the Robert Hayden Centennial Conference that year in November.
We talk about identity and Hayden’s birth name, Asa Bundy Sheffey. We talk about poems that change lives, Frederick Douglass, the Black Arts Movement, W. H. Auden, the Federal Writers Project, and Middle Passage.
We also talk about the Detroit airport and Haven Hall.
Original air date: October 23, 2013
