This is great! Thanks, Howard. I only wish they said if it was the author or an actor reading the particular poem (the site says sometimes it is actors). I became acquainted with Marilyn Nelson Waniek's work through Redmond's collection when I cataloged The Homeplace. I thought it was really powerful. It was so interesting to hear the poem you linked; it seemed like it was Nelson who read it from the beginning comments, and her voice was so young and soft, it was surprising to me.
