Poet Cleopatra Mathis

By Shay Zeller on Tuesday, May 16, 2006.

Tonight on The Front Porch, we rebroadcast our interview with poet Cleopatra Mathis. Her book, “White Sea” uses the New England landscape of ocean and snow to ask questions about the nature of our lives as humans. She says the book is her meditation on death and the loss of the soul. She also uses the landscape of her childhood in Louisiana to bring color into her work.
