Our Last Weekend in Savannah by Anna Weaver and Stephen "Doc" Hutchings
PN's Jacqueline Boucher on today's bonus spoken-word poem: With "Our Last Weekend in Savannah," Weaver and Hutchings have achieved a kind of symbiosis. Neither Weaver's quiet, meditative poetry, nor Hutchings' understated musical backing overwhelm the other. Instead, they walk together as the speaker and the subject do: treading lightly, thoughtfully, with care and attention paid every step of the way.
