Philip D. Appleman (1926 – 2020) was an American poet and Professor Emeritus at Indiana University. I first became acquainted with him in graduate school when I read his edited collection, Darwin (Norton Critical Editions). I have discussed his book on the meaning of life, and posted a few of his poems in four recent posts. After his death, he was survived by Majorie, his wife of almost 67 years, but she died shortly after he did. Below is an interview he did with Bill Moyers.
