Open Windows Podcast

My program today is about how poets incorporate the idea of cold and coldness into their poems, to create texture, to control mood and tone, to provide symbolic or metaphoric significances, and to create and direct images that resonate connotatively for different readers. I read poems by Annie Lennox, D.H. Lawrence, Federico Garcia Lorca, William Carlos Williams, Roberta Hill Whiteman, and James Wright. I end the program with two of my own poems.
