Back in September 2019 before we all became contagious, Peter Almond stopped in to the Maud / Olson Library. Peter was curious about the library and wanted to spend some time with Charles Olson. Later when the world did change Peter helped us out with some virtual programming. I later learned Peter was Steve Almond’s Uncle. We both thought this could make for an intimate talk… and it does. Here is Almond with Almond with a little Herman Melville to get things started. At the end of the interview Steve talks about the murder of George Floyd. Here is a recent piece by this on WBUR’s cognoscenti. https://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/2020/05/28/george-floyd-minnesota-steve-almond
