Send us Fan MailDo you ever look up on a dark night and wonder what's beyond? Beyond the even lines of Starlink satellites marching their way across the sky, beyond the planes arcing from coast to coast, beyond the stars and the moons? Words by Winter: Conversations, reflections, and poems about the passages of life. Because it’s rough out there, and we have to help each other through.Original theme music for our show is by Dylan Perese. Additional music by Kelly Krebs. Artwork by Mark Garry. Ada Limón's beautiful poem In Praise of Mystery: a poem for Europa is read with permission. I encourage you all to look up Ada Limón's work, as she is one of my and our country’s most beloved poets.
