A Farewell to the Podcast with Theodore Roethke’s “The Rose”

An episode from 10/8/24: Tonight, four years to the day after starting this podcast, I end it with a reading of Theodore Roethke’s (1908-1963) long poem, “The Rose.” I also reread the poem I shared in the very first episode, Louise Glück’s (1943-2023) “Messengers.”

Many thanks to my listeners over the past four years. You can continue find my books, notices about new publications, and daily poems from Old English till now, over at wordandsilence.com. You can always reach me at humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com.

    Goodbye Tim. It has been a lovely journey listening to you. If you start another podcast or some other form of public engagement, I look forward to it regardless of what it is about. With you it has often been a discovery of things I didn’t know I was interested in yet.

#209 – Being a Jew in 1900, Being a Jew Now – Human Voices Wake Us

An episode from 12/15/25: Tonight, I read from Irving Howe’s World of Our Fathers: The Journey of the East European Jews to America and the Life They Found and Made. In light of the events in Australia yesterday, I take the time not just to talk about what it meant to be a Jewish immigrant to America around the year 1900, but what it means to me to be a Jew right now.The best way to support the podcast is by leaving a review on Apple or Spotify, sharing it with others, or sending me a note on what you think. You can also order any of my books: Time and the River: From Columbine to the Invention of Fire, due out next year, is now available for preorder. Other books include Notes from the Grid, To the House of the Sun, The Lonely Young & the Lonely Old, and Bone Antler Stone. I've also edited a handful of books in the S4N Pocket Poems series.Email me at humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com.
