After the guide
If the free evening leaves you wanting the poem itself — with company in the margins — the Home Pack ($19) adds our digital Companion Edition: the complete public-domain poem with a 24-moment reading route, maps, character cards, and five essays on homecoming, temptation, fatherhood, absence, and recognition. One-time, digital, yours to keep.
