Ginger Radio Hour: Cornelius Eady Revisited (Audio)
Dec 07, 2025
Poet Cornelius Eady, who used to have a house in Acra, was recently awarded the Wallace Stevens Award for Lifetime Achievement by the Academy of American Poets. Past winners include John Ashbery, Rita Dove, Louise Glück, Joy Harjo, and Philip Levine. Hear excerpts from my 2022 interview with Eady, along with some tracks from his new album, and more.
Host Justin Maiman from Cairo shares his latest inspirations on the "Ginger Radio Hour." Live from WGXC's Acra studio, the show features music, field recordings, performances, and interviews, primarily with people in and around the Catskill Mountains of New York.
