I Sit and Sew

from Parlando - Where Music and Words Meet · host Frank Hudson for the Parlando Project

"I Sit and Sew"  is likely Alice Dunbar-Nelson's best-known poem, a strongly worded statement of a woman wishing to assuage the suffering of war. I've now made it into a short song, as that's what the Parlando Project does. I'll write a bit more about the particulars of the poem at the Project's blog and archives later today, but I thought her poem could speak well for itself on this International Woman's Day.  That blog and archives is located at frankhudson.org by the way.
