Poet Kevin Young Serves up a Volume about Food

With seven books of poetry under his belt, you might say Kevin Young has a certain way with words.  He currently serves as the Atticus Haygood Professor of English and Creative Writing at Emory, and also curates their Raymond Danowski Poetry Library.  Young’s latest book of poetry centers on something near and dear to all of our hearts:  food.  He stopped by our studios earlier to tell us more about The Hungry Ear, in which he examines the intersection of food, family, and poetry.
