My last two programs have been about summer. One of the things I like to do in the summer is to open the windows at night and listen to all sorts of things humming and buzzing outside the window screens. One of the things I most love, among all those wonderful sounds and noises on a summer night, is the sound of trains passing in the distance. So today I read poems about trains by Emily Dickinson, Ezra Pound, W.H. Auden, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Bob Dylan. I end my program with two of my own poems about trains.
