On this week’s show, award-winning poet Eavan Boland, who was introduced by former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, delivered a lecture as part of the Robert Lowell Memorial Lecture Series at Boston University.

Hosted by the Creative Writing Program, the Robert Lowell Memorial Lecture Series is a series of high-profile poetry readings celebrating the legacy of the historic Boston University class in which Robert Lowell once taught poets Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, and George Starbuck.
