Episode description
Each September, thousands of Vaux's Swifts roost in the chimney of Chapman Elementary School in Portland, Oregon, a stopover on their southern migration. Crowds gather every night to watch the spectacle. As a celebration of Poetry Month in the US, we offer this poem, Swifts, by Stefania Gomez.
You can read more of Stefania's work in her book, Once I Loved a Cowboy.
This interview originally aired in April 2020.
