Hennessy Interviewed on Morning Edition


NPR's Morning Edition aired a story about the MacArthur grants and the lasting legacy of one winner, Amy Clampitt. The piece featured an interview with UA alum John Hennessy (1996) about his time at the Clampitt house, where he wrote part of his 2013 book Coney Island Pilgrims. You can hear the full story (and perhaps take heart from the fact that Clampitt didn't publish her first collection until the age of 63) here.
