A Noiseless Patient Spider by Whitman - With Local Poet Rohn Bayes
Show Notes
I had the pleasure of sitting down with local San Antonio poet, Rohn Bayes.We talked about Whitman's great, short poem "A Noiseless Patient Spider," and how its metaphor "takes you places."That, after all, is the etymology of metaphor--to take you some where. This particular metaphor is special to poets, writers, and creators of all sorts. Anyone who has every created "filament, filament, filament!" can sympathize with the meaning of this poem.Stay tuned till the end for a special performance of an unread poem by Rohn Bayes.
