60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday: What Makes Autumn a Favorite Season? Is it the Poems?

Hello to you listening in Hebden Bridge, a market town in the Calderdale district of West Yorkshire, England!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.You’ve heard his music as the backdrop for my 60 Seconds podcast episodes, my guest interviews, and most recently my newly launched Quarter Moon Story Arts NewsAudioLetter. Steve Schuck is my delightfully complex and complicated - as family members of Creatives might agree - musician, recording artist, song writer, author, and brother-in-law. His label, Night Heron Music, has received multiple awards.But Steve and I also share a love of poetry. All Hallows by recently deceased Nobel Prize winning poet Louise Gluck is one of his favorite seasonal poems. We thought you might enjoy it.All Hallows"Even now this landscape is assembling.The hills darken. The oxensleep in their blue yoke,the fields having beenpicked clean, the sheavesbound evenly and piled at the roadsideamong cinquefoil, as the toothed moon rises:This is the barrennessof harvest or pestilence.And the wife leaning out the windowwith her hand extended, as in payment,and the seedsdistinct, gold, callingCome hereCome here, little oneAnd the soul creeps out of the tree." [~ Louise Gluck, from her first book of poems, The House on Marshland]You’re always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe, share a 5-star rating + nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!Meanwhile, stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website to:✓ Check out What I Offer,✓ Arrange your free Story Start-up Session,✓ Opt In to my monthly NewsAudioLetter for bonus gift, valuable tips & techniques to enhance your story work, and✓ Stay current with Diane on LinkedIn.Stories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Mer’s Waltz from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicAll content and image © 2019 to Present Quarter Moon Story Arts.
