The interview touched on Hilbert's troubled past and struggles for recognition. In December 2013, Hilbert was interviewed by WHYY's Peter Crimmins for a radio feature titled "(The Sonnet Makes a Small Comeback )," in which Hilbert is quoted as saying "I think some (sonnets ) are too old-fashioned, something that happens when people write in an old form. They suddenly adopt an old-fashioned formality and diction and focus. They are very limited in thinking about what the poem can be about. That's a hang-up even good poets can fall prey to." A recording of Ernest Hilbert reading "Broad and Washington," engineered by Peter Crimmins, was broadcast on WHYY/NPR 90.7FM as part of the News Works Tonight New Year’s program the evening of December 31, 2013. Hilbert lives in the University City section of Philadelphia with his wife, an archaeologist at the University of Pennsylvania.
