Glaspell is not a poet like most writers I present, but this short scene is from what remains her most famous work: a still effective short play about two women who have accompanied their husbands who are charged with investigating a murder* in a remote 1900 Iowa farmhouse. I wanted to do something special for this project’s 500 th audio piece, and I decided to try to use some words from my distant relative who was herself a figure in the Modernist revolution of the early 20 th Century that I mine for many of the pieces used here. The bold-faced titles are links to the original post that introduced the piece in case you want to read what I wrote then.ġ0 Trifles – I Know What Stillness Is by Susan Glaspell. Which ones did the Parlando Project readers and listeners most connect with?Īs we usually do, this is a countdown, so we start with the 10 th most listened to and liked piece, and then over the next few posts we’ll move on to the most popular this winter. It may be a bit strange to revisit a winter we are glad to be emerging from, but poetry is about remembrance of all kinds of emotions and experiences. I’ve been tardy in many things for this project lately - but let me get on to recounting which pieces were most liked and listened to during the past quarter.
