My second podcast features the work of Dennis Silk, the poet who gave this site its name. I read four poems from his last collection Catwalk and Overpass: "Neologism," "A Cloud Inhaled Me," "What the Spies Said to Moses," and "Millamant to Mirabell." I finish my reading with the first verse of Melanie's "Someday I'll be a Farmer." My fan kicked in at around 5:20 but I liked this recording too much to start over. I'm trying to keep these recordings to about five minutes but this will take more practice. I see these podcasts as an opportunity to provide some relevant background information on poets and poems that I enjoy and, more importantly, to reflect on why these particular works matter to me. Bear with me!
