December 21 marks the Capricorn Solstice--the Winter Solstice for the Northern Hemisphere. Poet Maryam Barrie joins me on this extended edition of Poetry Sustains to share Brigit Pegeen Kelly's "Song".  Song tells the story of a young girl, her beloved pet goat, and the cruelty that darkness brings. What happens when darkness meets light? When foolishness meets wisdom? When the heart and the brain work in power together? Join us as we explore "Song" and the light within us at the darkest time of the year.
