autumn

Are day and night equal on the equinox? The equinox occurs Sunday morning, September 22nd, at 5:44 a.m. local time. On this day there are roughly equal days and equal nights across the entire planet. Why "roughly" equal?

In this week’s episode of PoetrySnaps!, Texas-based poet Melissa Studdard shares her poem, If Falling Is a Leaf. It’s a combination of poetry, music, autumn and the artist David Hockney. She wrote it in response to a musical score written by her partner.
