Hello to you listening in Hebden Bridge, a market town in the Calderdale district of West Yorkshire, England!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

You’ve heard his music as the backdrop for my 60 Seconds podcast episodes, my guest interviews, and most recently my newly launched Quarter Moon Story Arts NewsAudioLetter. Steve Schuck is my delightfully complex and complicated - as family members of Creatives might agree - musician, recording artist, song writer, author, and brother-in-law. His label, Night Heron Music, has received multiple awards.

But Steve and I also share a love of poetry. All Hallows by recently deceased Nobel Prize winning poet Louise Gluck is one of his favorite seasonal poems. We thought you might enjoy it.

All Hallows

"Even now this landscape is assembling.

The hills darken. The oxen

sleep in their blue yoke,

the fields having been

picked clean, the sheaves

bound evenly and piled at the roadside

among cinquefoil, as the toothed moon rises:

This is the barrenness

of harvest or pestilence.

And the wife leaning out the window

with her hand extended, as in payment,

and the seeds

distinct, gold, calling

Come here

Come here, little one

And the soul creeps out of the tree." [~ Louise Gluck, from her first book of poems, The House on Marshland]
