Poems in English and German: Recent Episodes
Gerda Irene Brenner
This episode is about "hope". I read Emily Dickinson's poem "Hope" is the thing with feathers first in English and then in German. The poem in German is my own translation. At the beginning, I share some childhood memories of listening to birdsong in the mornings and watching birds together with my grandmother.
