October Poetry Curator Daisy Fried
Exist in Confusion, as Long as Possible, While Revising
Daisy Fried is the author of five books of poetry, including the forthcoming My Destination. The recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship, a Hodder fellowship, and a Pew fellowship in the arts, she is a member of the faculty of the MFA Program For Writers at Warren Wilson College. Zócalo’s poetry curator for October, Fried chatted with us in the green room about coming to terms with Sylvia Plath, writing in the style of poet Zbigniew Herbert, and finding inspiration at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
