Meg Freitag Reads "Thanks" by W.S. Merwin

November's guest writer-curator on Something I Heard, Meg Freitag, reads "Thanks" by W.S. Merwin, on the theme of gratitude.

Freitag is the author of the poetry collection Edith and This Is a Book for People Who Love Dogs, an illustrated work of nonfiction.

I started working with Boise State Public Radio in 2018, first as a freelance podcaster and co-host of You Know The Place, which ran for six award-winning seasons, visiting funeral homes, ostrich farms, and nude retreats for the story. I later began working as a contract producer on Reader’s Corner and Something I Heard, the former in its 24th year of interviewing NYT-bestselling, Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning authors, the latter a bite-sized literary break, along a monthly theme.
