The Gift Reading of the Poem

Jacqueline Kington and Michael Schafer create a gift reading of the poem that's inspired by the conversation we've had with them. We're trying to kind of capture that moment of connection around the poem. In this case both Jackie and I had a go at recording the poem individually. And then we thought it would be fun to try it in this way where we were alternating lines. And we felt it sort of worked and that it would be something that Harry might enjoy. So thanks again to Harry for allowing us to share the conversation with you, City Lights and Car Connect for their permission to use the poem.
