Episode 6 - A Conversation with Steven Riel
from Franco-American Pathways Hosted by USM's Franco-American Collection
Welcome to Franco-American Pathways, a podcast from the University of Southern Maine’s Franco-American Collection. This month, we spoke with Steven Riel, a New England poet of Franco-American descent, who just released his fifth poetry collection, Edgemere. We discussed Riel’s upbringing in Massachusetts, his relationship to his Franco-American heritage, in addition to the themes of memory, identity, and selfhood in his poetry. In The Archivist’s Corner, Anna will introduce the Nandette Poetry book, a collection of poems and ephemera from Fernande Audet. In La Collection Parle, Maureen will read some of Audet’s poetry, in French and English. Welcome and Happy listening!
