Listen "Full of Sorrow, Full of Thanks, with David Hernandez"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textA couple of weeks ago I asked readers to tell me what they were struggling with, and responses came rolling in. Then I asked them to tell me what they're thankful for, and the floodgates opened. Sorrow and thanks, in equal measure, both of which make me think of one of my favorite poems, by David Hernandez.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. "Anyone Who Is Still Trying," by David Hernandez, is from his beautiful book Dear, Sincerely, published by the University of Pittsburg Press in 2016 and used with permission of the author. It was read by writer and voice artist Luke O'Brien, who can be reached at [email protected]. Reader contributions were read by Matthew Colfax and Devon O'Brien. Original theme music composed and performed by Dylan Perese, who can be found on Instagram at @dylan.field.perese. Additional music composed and performed by Kelly Krebs, who can be reached at [email protected] and soundcloud.com/kellykrebs. Artwork by Mark Garry.
