857: And Everywhere Offering Human Sound

Today’s poem is And Everywhere Offering Human Sound by Joan Houlihan.In this episode, Major writes… “Through my many years of reading poetry, I feel as though I’ve absorbed other people’s stories and feelings. I strongly believe this has fortified me with a spirit of kindness, poetry as a daily pill of compassion. This is a grounding tenet in my belief in poetry as a communal and righteous good. We get to see through each other’s eyes and feel through each other’s hearts.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
