An interview with Terese Svoboda (author of Trailer Girl and Other Stories, which will be published as a Bison paperback in December) was featured on the arts and culture blog The Millions last week, as part of a National Poetry Month feature. In the interview, Svoboda discusses the importance of song in Sudan, something she spent time researching and translating years ago – and also something she discussed at an event in Grand Island a few weeks back.
