A Conversation with Emma Trelles

Listen in on an oral history conversation with 9th Poet Laureate of Santa Barbara, California Emma Trelles, interviewed by fellow poet Silvia Curbelo. Uncover Trelles’ path from childhood family field trips to bookstores through her unexpected early career as journalist and art critic to the ways her bedtime “letters to herself” in her beloved notebook form the basis of her poems.
