Show Notes

This episode features poems by three Northeast Ohio-based writers. Each poem captures a single fleeting moment, a single encounter with nature, that somehow encapsulates an eternity. "Crow Tongue" by Ray McNiece, "Cicadas" by Cathy Barber, and "Sunbeams" by Marion Boyer are heard alongside an anonymous dance Bel fiore dança (or, lovely dance in Italian) that survives in a manuscript from around 1400.
