CHAPTER

I'm Going Back to Minnesota Where Sadness Makes Sense

This is the last episode of season four of poetry unbound. The poem comes from danez smith's book home. i think this is an extraordinary psychological poem about the experience of containment, being contained in your environment and also finding a way to say, your ok in th sweet kind of sadness. Look at what's possible when you can turn to that kind of experience and say, oh, this tells me something true. I'm going back to minnesota where sadness makes sense.
