David Keplinger is the distinguished author of eight collections of poetry — including his most recent book, Ice. He has received prestigious awards throughout his career and was honored as Scholar-Teacher of the Year in 2022 at American University in Washington, DC, where he has taught since 2007. He's also a dear friend and the only person I imagined featuring on this, our first podcast episode at The Guest House. Sitting together in David's study, we discuss the revelatory nature of memory and how poetry and mindfulness as spiritual practices can help us explore our place in the layered history of this spinning Earth.
