Today at 10:40 we hear the final part of Our Universe with Professor Geraint Lewis, entitled The Long Dark Tea-time of the Universe.

At 11:00, I am joined by poetry devotee, Eleanor Smagarinsky, who talks about ModPo, her online poetry community. We do a close reading of a poem by Lorine Niedecker called You are my friend. We hope you will join us in the reading. here is the text:

 

You are my friend

 

You are my friend–

you bring me peaches

and the high bush cranberry

you carry

 

my fishpole

you water my worms

you patch my boot

with your mending kit

nothing in iy

 

but my hand

 

Music will be all about friends. I look forward to reading the poem with you!
