“This Living Hand, Now Warm and Capable,” by John Keats (read by Eric Robert Nolan)

I was looking around the web for a Halloween poem to record (it’s a bit tricky, as they have to be in the public domain), and I found this very short poem by John Keats.  Its imagery makes it somewhat Halloweenish, I suppose.  I hope that you enjoy it.

If you do like this one, then stop by tomorrow for my reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven.”

I’m linking here to one of R. J. Davey’s latest poems.  This one really speaks to me.
