"Echo" by Christina Rossetti

In this episode, I read "Echo" by Christina Rossetti and once again, have to grapple with words that feel like graveside flowers. @RavynReads on socials

"Song: When I Am Dead, My Dearest" by Christina Rossetti

Today we return to Christina Rossetti's beautiful views on mortality and grief. In under a paragraph, Rossetti argues successfully for the autonomy of the desire to be remembered.

"Dust of Snow" by Robert Frost

In this episode, we return to Robert Frost and "Dust of Snow", a small, whimsical little thing, that I sense, holds more than meets the eye. Perfect for a quick listen and to satisfy (or increase) that yearning for winter in the middle of summer.

"When You Are Old" by W. B. Yeats

A moving reading of W.B. Yeats's "When You Are Old," a timeless poem of love, memory, and longing. Perfect for listeners who enjoy classic poetry, Irish literature, and intimate spoken-word performances.
