Cynthia Huntington has been named New Hampshire?s newest Poet Laureate. In honor of her new post, we revisit the interview she gave last April, upon the release of her fourth collection of poems, The Radiant. It occupies some serious territory including her long battle with Multiple Sclerosis and the end of her marriage. She will give a public reading at the New Hampshire State Library along with Poets Laureate Emeritae, Maxine Kumin and Marie Harris on April 10th at 7 pm.
