Jessica B. Harris Presents: Tell Me A Story, Read Me A Poem

The human voice is music that works as a tuning fork for the soul. In times of trouble it brings solace and comfort. We also find refuge in stories - they can allay our fears, comfort our anxieties and instruct us on better ways to be. On this series, renowned culinary historian and author Jessica B. Harris shares stories and reads poems from around the world. Some might bring a smile of recollection or a nod of recognition - others might startle with their aptness to todays world. May they all help us find peace of mind body and soul.
