Description	In this interview International Writing Program director, Christopher Merrill discusses his ancestors who wrote, what playing sports has taught him about the craft of writing and his passion for writing that developed when he was 14 years old. Merrill also discusses the walking tour of Slovenia he took with a Slovenian poet which led him to write “Only the Nails Remain.” He then talks about his Pilgrimage he took to Greece which inspired his book, “Things of the Hidden God.” He then goes on to explain the work he did to rebuild the International Writing Program as well as his Knighthood in Arts and Letters from the French government. Finally, he discusses his influences, being named Iowa City’s Person of the Year, his daughters’ opinions of having a writer for a father and the uncertainty and humility that all writers must face.
