On April 28, 2006, Aaron Henkin interviewed Dr. Salcman on air about the science of poetry and the poetry of science on WYPR’s The Signal; the interview is archived on the radio station’s web site and the poems can be heard at www.salcman.com. There are plans to feature this interview on the web site of The Cortland Review.
The day after the official publication date of The Clock Made of Confetti, January 28th, 2007, Dr. Salcman’s three careers as neurosurgeon, art historian and poet, were the subject of a major feature article and interview by Mary McCauley, “Incisive Mind”, on p.1 of the Sunday Art & Entertainment section of the Baltimore Sun. The article is archived on the web site of the newspaper.
Susan McCallum-Smith, the literary editor of Urbanite Magazine, did an on-air review of The Clock Made of Confetti and read from several of the poems on WYPR’s Maryland Morning on March 16th, 2007. The review was archived on the show’s web site and is also available here.
On April 8, 2007, the Sunday Ideas section of the Baltimore Sun carried an article, “The Idea Machine”, in which Mary McCauley interviewed Dr. Salcman in regard to his theories about the brain and creativity (the brain as a metaphor making machine.) The article is archived on the web site of the newspaper.
In the December 2007 issue of Baltimore Magazine, Dr. Salcman’s views on art collecting were discussed in the article “Their Houses are Museums” by Geoffrey Himes, archived on the web site of the magazine.
