George Johnston on Writer's Almanac again

George Johnston's "Brigid Newly Arrived" was broadcast today on Garrison Keillor's show "The Writer's Almanac." This is a fine example of Johnston's gift as a writer of occasional verse.

Here's Johnston's "Us Together."

And here is his "Farewell to Teaching."
