Moyers & Company. The Power Behind Poetry
Description
In this edition of Moyers & Company, Martín Espada talks to Bill about the power of poetry and reads from his works including "The Poet's Son Watches His Father Leave for Another Gig," "The Playboy Calendar and the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám," and "Blessed Be the Truth-Tellers." Over the course of their conversation, Espada describes the sacrifices artists - particularly those who are parents - sometimes need to make and what drives him to both poetry and activism. In addition, an essay is included on what money and influence will buy you in Washington.
