Indian Summer Days at Swampacres in Vermont and Beyond
The narrator travels from Dorset to Vermont and New York, noting bare trunks after storms, tamaracks against green pines and spruces, and memories tied to John Davis Hatch and the WPA art project. Amid urban echoes in Allentown Easton and New York, birds like robins and white-throats mirror Indian summer as feeders attract wildlife in the city. The piece blends landscape, memory, and nostalgia with reflections on redman artifacts and sanctuary in old trees.
