Maggie Devers reads Philippe Blenkiron’s “The Spider” on her One Poem Only podcast!

Check out “The Spider,” a wonderful poem by my great old friend and colleague Philippe Blenkiron, newly published on Maggie Devers’ One Poem Only podcast.  You can find it right here.

“The Spider” is a spiritual poem that Phil describes as being “about a spider, or God, or both. Not entirely sure…”

It’s a superb piece, and I hope that you will listen to Ms. Devers’ interpretation of it.



Happy Halloween, all!!

Be good.  Don’t drink and drive.  Don’t egg my house.

I believe the name of the artist is lost to history — would our only clue be the initials … “RX” in the bottom right corner?
