Today, The Leonard Lopate Show talks to Kevin Young, author of Ardency (Knopf, ISBN 978-0307267641), and editor of The Art of Losing (Bloomsbury, ISBN 978-1608190331). PW’s review of Ardency said, “The story of the Amistad is widely known…. The prolific Young (Dear Darkness) has organized a big and varied book around that story…. the book taken as a whole is more powerful than some of the individual poems. That whole is impressive indeed.”

Sara Wheeler, author of The Magnetic North (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, ISBN 978-0374200138), is also on Lopate.

Rand Paul, whose book is The Tea Party Goes to Washington (Center Street, ISBN 978-1455503117), is on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Katie Nicholl, author of The Making of a Royal Romance (Weinstein Books, ISBN 978-1602861534), is on The View.

The Colbert Report interviews Joshua Foer, author of Moonwalking with Einstein (The Penguin Press, ISBN 978-1594202292).
