Tonight on The Front Porch, we meet Poet Cleopatra Mathis. Her new book, “White Sea” uses our New England landscape of ocean and snow to ask questions about the nature of our lives as humans. She says the book is her meditation on death and the loss of the soul. But her poems are not completely monochromatic. She uses the landscape of her childhood in Louisiana to bring color into her work.
