Ruth Bavetta's poetry is part of the American plainsong tradition--but with a twist. Rather than being part of the quiet contemplative tradition, it's an exuberant plea to embrace the world in the art of bread-making, an early morning task that can "fill the house with praise."

Join me, Mark Scarbrough, on this bookmarked journey through some of the best lyric poetry in English . I've got a passion for small, evocative poems. I'd like to share that with out--as well as those poems, of course! Together, we'll encounter the core things that make us human: love, the inner life, the emotions, our notion of purpose, and our relationship with the natural world around us. Join me. We humans are made for each other!
