It’s cold in Maine, so growing up there campfires were a part of daily life. I was mostly just the person who started the fire and quietly tended it. But on rare occasions I would recite a favorite poem. Mostly Edgar Alan Poe or William Shakespeare, but also some J.R.R. Tolkien and others.

This podcast will contain the title and author, as well as the contents of the poem. I am not a public speaker, so there will be no unscripted dialogue. I will transcribe the text of the piece here on ODEO, along with any notes I might have about the piece.
