This week Sam Manno is sharing poems on Pastoralism. Sam was born in Chicago in 1960 and moved in 1984 to Montana, where he has found peace as part of a herd of dairy goats. He is an artist, farmer, pastoralist, and host and producer of children's programming on Montana Public Radio.
Today's poem is accompanied by music by Peter Ostroushko, an acclaimed Ukranian mandolinist, fiddler, composer, arranger and teacher who died on February 24, 2021.
