Recorded while hiking up the Squaw Peak trail again, in a spot with lots of wind and hence the distracting and omnipresent wind noise. Still, an awesome poem that you probably haven't head before because it's a translation from a fragment of an Old English (Anglo-Saxon) manuscript.

Recorded while hiking through the snow on the Stewart Falls trail above Sundance. It's technically the Stewart Cascade trail, but no one around here calls it that. It's just Stewart Falls. I didn't make it too the falls, however: too much snow and too little trail. But it was still a nice hike.

Recorded on a trail from the Squaw Peak Lookout, I was at an elevation of about 7200, just over 2000 feet above my house. Not recorded on a Sunday, because, unlike Emily Dickinson, I do keep my Sabbath by going to church. But I like her sentiment.

Episode 108: Frost's "Two Tramps in Mud Time"

2017/04/09

Kind of a longer poem today, and recorded indoors--or rather, in car, trying to get out of the wind enough to make myself audible. I was birding at the Provo Airport Dike, which is one of the best spots around here for waterbirds (and other birds as well, of course).

Episode 107: Yeats' "Lake Isle of Innisfree"

Lucky Words ·

2017/04/08

Recorded while hiking, which explains but does not justify the noise of the wind, stream, footsteps, and worst of all, my heavy breathing. But the poem is beautiful, and the background noise might help you intuit the setting I recorded in, which is about as beautiful as it gets. It is, in fact, up South Fork in Provo Canyon, on my way to the Cascade Saddle (among other places).

Episode 106: Silverstein's "Sick"

Recorded during a pause while fishing on the lower Provo River, just a couple of miles up the canyon from my house. I had a #14 Elk Hair Caddis fly on about four feet of tippet at the end of a 12' Tenkara rod.

Recorded at the Indian Road trailhead, which leads to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. I was in the car for this recording, because I wasn't sure about my outdoors setup.

Episode 103: Louis Simpson's "Chocolates"

Lucky Words ·

2017/04/04

Recorded while hiking on a section of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, part way up Provo Canyon. There's some wind and I have to breathe heavy because, well, I'm hiking at an elevation that looks down on Denver by 1000 feet. Except Denver is eight hours away. I'm also 1000 feet higher than Salt Lake or my beloved Provo, but they don't claim to be "Mile High."
