4/5/09 Update: iTunes was having difficulty with this large mp3 file, so I deleted it from our Podcasts. But you can stream the audio here or download the mp3 file.
[Original Description]
St. Louis Magazine's April 2009 print edition featured Jeannette Cooperman's
in-depth, interview-based profile of the legendary artist Ernest Trova,
who died at 82 just as the issue was going to press. While the 8-page
feature, which includes a portrait and representations of Trova's work,
appears only in print, we are offering here the raw audio of
staff writer Cooperman's nearly two-hour interview with the artist. In their discussion, Trova spoke about a range of
subjects, from badminton and Ezra Pound to religion and local critics.
