This one is a gift from Anna Natzke-- my former student, a church friend, and a bright and lovely young writer.

 

I could not stop smiling when I listened to the file she sent! It's only a few minutes long, but you'll get a good idea of why it was such a joy to have a couple years in the classroom with her.


Anna reads and reflects on poems of peace and yearning:

"The House Was Quiet and the World Was Calm" by Wallace Stevens

"Lake Isle of Innisfree" by W.B. Yeats

 

Enjoy!

 

DELIGHTFUL FACT: When this TTP project was newborn, Anna's mama Amy came on (episode #35) to share the work of Ruth Pitter, a British poet who was a contemporary of CS Lewis and much admired by him.
