Today’s poem is ars poetica, 2019 by Airea D. Matthews.
The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “I love poetry. Of course I do—I’m hosting this show every weekday! And you’re here, listening, so I think we have this love of poetry in common. But I also know people who are a little uneasy with poetry. I’ve met plenty of people who’ve confessed to me, ‘I love to read, but I don’t get poetry.’ Or they might simply say, ‘I’m not a poetry person.’”
