“Narrative Poems”: These poems offer at least an outline of a story, with a plot and some time references. Like many successful stories, substantial relevant questions may remain unanswered, requiring some speculation on our part. John Greenleaf Whittier, “Telling the Bees.” Edwin Arlington Robinson, “Mr. Flood’s Party.” Our theme music is Philip Aaberg’s “Going-to-the-Sun” from Live from Montana (available at sweetgrassmusic.com) and used with the kind permission of Mr. Aaberg.
