W. S. Di Piero reads poems from his fifth collection, The Restorers (1992), as well as poems that would later be published in Shadow Burning (1995). The poems are inspired by place—particularly California, Italy, and Philadelphia—and subjects as diverse as natural history, the lives of the saints, and the realm of Faerie.
Eleanor Wilner reads poems from Reversing the Spell: New & Selected Poems (1998), The Girl with Bees in Her Hair (2004), and Tourist in Hell (2010), along with poems that would go on to be collected in Before Our Eyes: New and Selected Poems, 1975-2017 (2019).
