content: Poets and artists from various disciplines were interviewed by America: Now and Here. Many of the interviews were conducted by Eugene Michael Santiago, but numerous transcripts do not identifiy the interviewer. Some well-known interview subjects include program founder Eric Fischl, playwright Edward Albee, visual artists Julian Schnabel and Bill Viola, various poets including Billie Collins and lesser known individuals. Subjects discussed include the meaning of "the American Journey," the development of the artist, sources of inspiration and work, and the relationship between art and culture.
