Poetry 180: A Poem a Day

Mark Svenvold's poem Relearning Winter begins

Hello Winter, hello flanneled
blanket of clouds...

Relearning Winter is the 93rd poem of 180 poems meant to be read aloud to high school students--one for each day of the school year. The collection was compiled for the Library of Congress by Billy Collins, former Poet Laureate of the United States. Mr. Collins tells us "How to Read a Poem" and demonstrates his suggestions by reading "My Son, the Man."
