Yet a lot of us have found our sleep disrupted this year. And it\u2019s sometimes hard to leave the day\u2019s stresses behind. So this episode is devoted to songs and poems about sleep and nighttime. To that end, we have music from Wild Asparagus, Elixir, Eloise &amp; Co., and Cindy Kallet. Julie reads poems by Sir Charles George Douglas Roberts and Rumi, and Ben Williams reads a poem by John Crowe Ransom. Take care, everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Episode Notes<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>1. Wherever You Go When You Sleep &#8211; Wild Asparagus (MA and VT).
