Finney joined us to discuss and read some of her poetry featured in her book, Head Off & Split, which won the 2011 National Book Award for Poetry. Finney is a professor of creative writing at the University of Kentucky and author of several books of poetry, including The World is Round, Rice, and On Wings Made of Gauze.
