Hear philosopher and psychologist Dr. Kipling Forbes interview Dr. Samuel Hazo, who is the author of poetry, fiction, essays, various works of translation and four plays. In his poetry, Samuel Hazo has explored themes of mortality and love, passion and art, courage and grace in a style that is unmistakably his own. As the founder and Director/President of the International Poetry Forum, Hazo has brought more than 800 poets and performers to Pittsburgh over the past forty years. In 1993 Governor Robert Casey named Hazo Pennsylvania’s first State Poet, a position in which he served until 2003. To listen, visit the SoundWAVs MPL Podcast page.
