The scorching triple-digit heat in Texas (where I live) certainly isn't giving anyone a fall feeling, so I'm turning to autumnal poetry to change the emotional weather. In this episode I read and discuss seven poems that convey the enchantment of autumn.

I recorded the video for this episode with my phone in a hotel room; forgive the less-than-amazing video quality.
