It's the season of things that go bump in the night! So in honour of Halloween I've brought you two poems about creatures that make a big bump.The first poem is Windigo by Louise Erdrich, a poem on the decaying spirit of cannibalism that haunts the North American wilderness.This is swiftly followed by Instructions for not becoming a werewolf by Abjgail Parry. A poem on battling the monsters within ourselves.Each one is sure to make you uneasy about what lurks just beyond the reach of the light.Windigo by Louise Erdrich: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43086/windigoInstructions for not becoming a werewolf by Abigail Parry:https://nationalpoetryday.co.uk/poem/instructions-for-not-becoming-a-werewolf/The Monster by Henry Rago:https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/browse?contentId=25632The show notes for today's episode, with full references can be found here: https://wordsthatburnpodcast.com/You can get in touch with me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wordsthatburnpodcast/The music in this weeks episode is Sleepwalker IV by Sergey Cheremisinov and is used under creative commons license.
