Gardner-Webb University Professor of Spanish Dr. Charles B. Moore joins Paul Foster on WNCW 88.7 FM’s Friday Feature to discuss his nationally recognized manuscript, El legado de la amistad petrarquista en la poesía hispanoamericana (“The Legacy of Petrarchan Friendship in Spanish American Poetry”). Recently selected for a distinguished Sigma Delta Pi/Ediciones Albatros grant to support publication, Dr. Moore’s work distills more than a decade of research tracing how Petrarchan ideas of friendship echo through Spanish American poetry—from the colonial era through the mid-20th century.

In this conversation, Dr. Moore unpacks the book’s central themes, why “friendship” is a powerful lens for reading poetry across centuries, and how this recognition affirms the value of sustained, humanities-driven scholarship. Tune in for a thoughtful journey through literature, language, and legacy—right here in the Carolinas.
