Garrison Keillor has featured Robert Lax’s poetry on his “The Writer’s Almanac” radio show several times and the poems are all still featured on the “Almanac” website. You can even listen to Garrison Keillor read them. The one to read or listen to now, perhaps, is “Greeting to Spring (Not Without Trepidation),” which first appeared in The New Yorker in the early years of World War II.
For those who like to watch something while listening, here’s a YouTube video of Keillor reading “The Alley Violinist.” Keillor included this one in his 2002 book Good Poems.
Happy spring!
