Oh, the fathers. The fathers and those who stand in for fathers. My own father is gone now, and how I miss him. 

Words by Winter: Conversations, reflections, and poems about the passages of life. Because it’s rough out there, and we have to help each other through.

Original theme music for our show is by Dylan Perese. Additional music by Kelly Krebs. Artwork by Mark Garry. Today’s poem, Dressing My Father-in-Law for Burial, is by Benjamin Cutler and is included in his new collection Wild Silence, forthcoming in October 2024. It's featured here with kind permission of the poet.  I encourage you to check out more of his beautiful work.
