Andrew Silver is the Page Morton Hunter Professor of English at Mercer University, where he has taught since 1998. He is a scholar, playwright, musician, and was named the state of Georgia’s Professor of the Year in 2003. I’m talking with Andy today about his late wife, the poet Anya Krugovoy Silver, who died of cancer in 2018. Andy found his wife’s last collection of poems on her computer the day of her death, and he brought that collection into print as Saint Agnostica, a bracing, beautiful, and soulful account of the end of life. Andy and I discuss this collection, his perspective on its creation and themes, and living on in the aftermath of Anya’s death.
