Episode 118: Anna Reads Yeats and Stevens

from Take this poem · host Mary Giudice

This one is a gift from Anna Natzke-- my former student, a church friend, and a bright and lovely young writer.   I could not stop smiling when I listened to the file she sent! It's only a few minutes long, but you'll get a good idea of why it was such a joy to have a couple years in the classroom with her. Anna reads and reflects on poems of peace and yearning: "The House Was Quiet and the World Was Calm" by Wallace Stevens "Lake Isle of Innisfree" by W.B. Yeats   Enjoy!   DELIGHTFUL FACT: When this TTP project was newborn, Anna's mama Amy came on (episode #35) to share the work of Ruth Pitter, a British poet who was a contemporary of CS Lewis and much admired by him. https://takethispoem.podbean.com/e/episode-35-take-this-poet-ruth-pitter/
