It's been a long time, friends. Six months, to be precise. But we're back and we intend to keep coming back. Take heart. We're all in this together.

Words by Winter: Conversations, reflections, and poems about the passages of life. Because it’s rough out there, and we have to help each other through.

Original theme music for our show is by Dylan Perese. Additional music by Kelly Krebs. Artwork by Mark Garry. Today’s poem, Nine-Eleven, is by Charlotte Parsons. Although today's poem has been featured on hundreds of websites I'm unable to find out any information about Charlotte Parsons other than that this poem first appeared on The Writer's Almanac on September 11, 2017. This leads me to suspect that Charlotte Parsons is a pseudonym for someone else. If anyone's in the know, please clue me in.
