Millay's Thanksgiving

Parlando - Where Music and Words Meet

Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote a poem about her fears and blessings on the American holiday of Thanksgiving nearly 75 years ago. I think it might speak to some Americans this year, so I've put together these excerpts from her longer poem for you to hear.

The Parlando Project combines various words (mostly literary poetry) with original music in differing styles. We've done nearly 800 of these combinations over the years, and you can hear them and some words we write about our experiences with the words at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org
