Frank Stasio talks with Roderick about The Americans.

Greensboro poet David Roderick's newest collection, The Americans (University of Pittsburgh Press/2014), examines the social aspects that define the country.

A child of the classic American suburb, Roderick found the definition lies somewhere in the middle of our history, our perceptions and the American dream.
