Coffee With The Authors: Mike Delp

Coffee With The Authors is a series of conversational interviews with local, regional, and state authors about the art, craft, and process of writing. GAAC Gallery Manager Sarah Bearup-Neal talks with writers — poets, essayists, memoirists, fiction writers, historical fiction writers, writers of creative non-fiction – and explores how a writer works and thinks.

Building A Character

Michael Delp — poet, essayist, teacher, fly fisherman – speaks to the beauty of streams and fresh water, and the aggressions against it, through the unfiltered voice of his literary doppelganger, the Mad Angler. Delp, an Interlochen resident, discusses a new edition of his Mad Angler poems, and the device of speaking through a character.

The video interview will become available below on April 1, 2025.
