Step into the serene beauty of the Northwoods with the December edition of Call of the Wild. Recorded live at the Ely Folk School, this month’s episode explores the theme Winter’s Whispers, inviting listeners to reflect on the quiet introspection that comes with the stillness of the season.

Featuring poetry from Sara Skelton, Joshua Forsman, Maggie Jesme, and more, these pieces capture the essence of winter in northern Minnesota — moments of solitude, the glow of memory, and dreams carried on the cold northern wind.

Whether you’re listening by a crackling fire or wrapped in a cozy blanket, let the voices of our community bring you closer to the heart of winter’s beauty and mystery.

New episodes of Call of the Wild are released monthly, showcasing live readings from our Call of the Wild poetry nights at the Ely Folk School in Ely, Minnesota.
