Open Windows Podcast

I continue my programs about summer, today considering the silence and stillness of summer nights. A lovely quiet, a certain silence, outside, late at night, after midnight especially, fills the summer night air. It may be interrupted, here and there, now and then, by a passing and typically unexpected noise that we hear through open windows. The poems I read consider that: poems by Paul Simon, Cole Porter, T.S. Eliot, Ken Hada, Kerry Shawn Keys, and Antanas A. Jonynas. I end my program with two of my own poems about the silences of a summer night.
