Poems for Winter Days

As we come out from under our historic winter storm, here are two winter poems read by Alabama Poet Laureate, Jennifer Horne in this week's reading for her Midweek Poetry Break.

"I grew up thinking of Edsel Ford (no relation to the automotive Fords) as an Arkansas poet, known and much admired by my poet mother, but I recently learned he was born and spent the first two years of his life in Eva, Alabama, in Morgan County (about 30 miles due west of Guntersville, as the crow flies). For the Mid-Week Poetry Break, here are two poems by Edsel Ford, on the theme of winter." ~ Jennifer Horne, @ALPoetLaureate
