"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.

"Music when Soft Voices Die" by Percy Shelley

A lyrical reading of Percy Bysshe Shelley's "Music when Soft Voices Die" exploring love, memory, beauty, and the lasting echo of feeling after sound fades. Perfect for listeners who love classic poetry, Romantic literature, and calm spoken-word performances.
