Author Maureen Clark on This Insatiable August
Manage episode 397113721 series 3450311
In this episode, we talk with Maureen Clark about her collection of poetry, This Insatiable August, which releases in February 2024 wherever Signature Books are sold. Clark, a writer and poet living in Bountiful, Utah, redefines her voice in what poet Dayna Patterson calls "a tender miracle of a book." Listen in as she speaks about growing up Mormon, losing her religion, yet finding herself in the process of pouring her truth out through her words. She also reads two poems from her book that show, with humor, hope and vulnerability, why there must be passion in the heaven she envisions. Clark recently retired from teaching at the University of Utah. Her poetry can be found in Gettysburg Review, Alaska Quarterly Review, Bellingham Review, Colorado Review, Southeast Review, and Sugarhouse Review.
