from Waterskiing on Poetry - Waving hello to poems and poets with Neil Elder · host Neil Elder

Encounters with animals can be startling, magical and memorable. Neil takes a look at the challenge presented in William Stafford's poem 'Traveling Through The Dark' and sees how the presentation of an encounter with an animal can differ quite remarkably by then looking at 'Roe Deer' by Ted Hughes.I'm on Instagram - WaterskiingOnPoetry https://www.instagram.com/waterskiingonpoetry?igsh=MXVhcnJ5MXI0aTNiNg==
