Episode 81: Daniel Boone And His Wife Rebecca

from Take this poem · host Mary Giudice

A good poet applying his pen and imagination to the inner life of historical figures...this is the human version of catnip for me. In his book A Companion for Owls, Kentucky poet Maurice Manning writes about the frontier life of Daniel and Rebecca Boone. The two poems in this episode are "Born Again" and "A Wife's Tale." Back in episode 17 I shared and discussed "The Pupil" by Maurice Manning
