Matthew Zapruder, Editor-at-Large at Wave Books, is tired. He's not only finishing up a prose book he's worked on for four years (Why Poetry), but he's the poetry editor at the New York Times, teaches at St. Mary's MFA program in Oakland, California, and is involved in other editing and writing projects. He and his wife also have a two-year-old son. But he's always got enough energy to write poems, and I find him, as usual, working on a new book, which will be his fifth. He shares a new poem, which feels related to part of our discussion that follows.
