In this episode, Clifford Brooks and Michael Amidei interview Todd Boss.
Todd Boss (www.ToddBossOriginals.com) is an award-winning American producer, writer, and innovator whose vision is to make the world more poetic.
Todd has four poetry collections, all published by W. W. Norton & Co. He has an MFA in Poetry from the University of Alaska-Anchorage. Todd's poems have appeared in The New Yorker, Poetry, National Public Radio, The London Times, American Poetry Review, and many more.
His lyrics for choir and solo voice have been performed at Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, and in other venues around the world.
Along with his company Motionpoems, Todd’s films have been presented in Cannes, London, Dublin, New York, LA, and elsewhere. He has worked with 150 filmmakers, and Pulitzer-winning and early-career poets alike, on poetry films that have been recognized by the National Book Foundation's "Innovations in Reading" Award.
His first children's book, The Boy Who Said Wow, is forthcoming from Simon & Schuster's Beach Lane imprint.
Todd grew up on an 80-acre cattle farm in Wisconsin and attended St. Olaf College and the University of Alaska–Anchorage. In 2018, he sold all his possessions and quit his lease. A nomad, he has since circled the globe on a series of 30 consecutive house-sits and dozens of short-term rentals.
