Poet Carl Phillips taught at Washington University for 30 years before winning the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry last year. He retired at the end of the school year. His new collection is out now. It’s called “Scattered Snows, to the North” and it includes poems about memory, sex and the natural world.
St. Louis Public Radio’s Jeremy Goodwin asked Phillips how his prestigious award affected his writing.
