Greensboro's David Roderick Explores America Through Poetry

Greensboro poet David Roderick's newest collection, The Americans (University of Pittsburgh Press/2014), examines the social aspects that define the country.

A child of the classic American suburb, Roderick found the definition lies somewhere in the middle of our history, our perceptions and the American dream.

Host Frank Stasio talks with Roderick about The Americans.
