Andrew sits down with poet Richie Hofmann to talk about Richie's new book of poems A Hundred Lovers (2022). In Richie's own words, this is "an erotic journal in poems" and a queer male "catalog of encounters, sublime, steamy, and frank."
As soon as they sit down together, Andrew and Richie bond over their South Jersey upbringing and their queer male literary aesthetic. Richie opens up about how his book explores promiscuity, monogamy, and a series of love affairs.
In addition to A Hundred Lovers, Richie is the author of Second Empire (2015), and his poetry regularly appears in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New York Review of Books, and The Yale Review.
