Poet Anna Rabinowitz found a shoe box full of old letters and photos of family and friends killed in the Holocaust.  She felt compelled to tell their stories, so she wrote the book-length poem "Darkling" to feature their voices.  She tells Anne Strainchamps about the acrostic buried in the poem.  We also hear excerpts from the opera "Darkling."
