BOOK NOTES is the Ohio Channel's interview show where host Dan Shellenbarger talks with Ohio authors and looks at books about Ohio.

Amit Majmudar is Ohio's first poet laureate, as well as the first MD we've had on the show. Dr. Majmudar holds down a day job as a diagnostic nuclear radiologist in Dublin. He's published two novels, including the critically-acclaimed Partitions, as well as three books of poetry, his most recent being Dothead. His poetry and prose have also been featured in such august publications as the New Yorker and the Kenyon Review.
