And spring? Well, looks as if we'll still have white on the ground for Easter.
Thanks so much for these wonderful readings, Jim

Obviously, these poems were written in a different time with a little different cultural conditioning but I feel that there is underlying affection in them and tried to read them that way (if it doesn't come across then it's only because I don't really know what I'm doing )

Thank you scotty!
I also think that calling ben king a racist would be much too one dimensional a view of his poems and also of history.

Oh, I think you indeed do know what you're doing, Scotty! These are read with great feeling and skill, truly capturing the spirit in which they were written. Thank your so much.

Thank you so much, Larry, that means a lot. And I definitely agree, Carolin, though I think many might still view them through the racial lens and i just don’t want to offend anyone . . . but i also figure the reader’s job is no judgement one way or another so try not to overthink it (bad at that )
