On Silliman's Blog is a link to a Bookworm podcast  
from KCRW in Santa Monica, California.  The person  
interviewing this poet is Michael Silverblatt, of  
whom I knew nothing until today.  His questions    
are keen, but be sure your volume is high enough  
because he speaks more softly than she does.  Try
to listen carefully.  The program has two segments.
The poet reads one poem in each.  Two ideas about  
poems are discussed: the poem that disappears and 
the poem that explodes (or seems that it might).   
Note what personal facts Armantrout shares.  Also
her words about our civilization.
