In this episode I share "The Pupil" by native Kentucky poet Maurice Manning. This poem tells the story of an interior Appalachian scene and does artistic work that I believe is unique to poetry. I draw upon Matthew Zapruder's book Why Poetry? to aid my attempts to explain it.

What's your favorite version of this anthology Mary? This was a sweet episode. I especially enjoyed the boy who read My Shadow. That's one of our favorite poems. I'm going to add Bed in Summer to our memory list.
