Emari DiGiorgio’s poems range from the political to the personal. She’s a featured poet at this year’s Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival in Newark (Oct. 11-14), and she teaches poetry at the Richard Stockton College of NJ. Christopher Benincasa talks to DiGiorgio about poetry and split-boarding the Tasman Glacier while on her recent honeymoon.
