Claude McKay's "To Winter"

Continuing in our celebration of the poetry of Claude McKay, here's a short, bittersweet song made from his poem "To Winter."  As a Jamaican emmigrant who lived much of his American time in the northern U.S., McKay here outlines a complex set of feelings about this time of the year. The Parlando Project takes various words (mostly literary poetry) and combines them with original music in differing styles. We've done over 850 of these combinaitons, and you can hear any of them and read about our encounters with the words at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org
