St. Louis Magazine‘s April 2009 print edition features Jeannette Cooperman’s in-depth, interview-based profile of the legendary artist Ernest Trova, who died at 82 just as the issue was going to press. While the 8-page feature, which includes a portrait and representations of Trova’s work, appears only in print, we are offering here the raw audio of Cooperman’s nearly two-hour interview with the artist, as well as some additional images. In their discussion, Trova spoke about a range of subjects, from badminton and Ezra Pound to religion and local critics. Read the article or listened to the interview?
