Michele Herman is a longtime teacher in The Writers Studio’s online program, a columnist for The Villager (for which she won the best column prize from the New York Press Association), and a translator of the work of Belgian singer/songwriter/actor/director Jacques Brel. Her first poetry chapbook, Victory Boulevard, was published this past February by Finishing Line Press and she is, as she puts it, a proud survivor of the Tupelo Press 30/30 poetry challenge.

In this episode of Cover to Cover with . . ., Editor-in-Chief Jordan Blum speaks with Herman about the origin and inspirations behind Victory Boulevard, the joys of teaching creative writing workshops online, and much more!
