Yesterday marked the unofficial last day of summer. As we head into fall, farmers markets will soon be switching out their berries and peaches for apples and pumpkins. Our Public Poetry Announcement this week is an ode to those last sweet peaches of summer.

MSU Center for Poetry Director Anita Skeen reads “The Exodus of Peaches” by Nancy Willard.
