Maggie on Deer in Suburbia

Today’s poem is Whitetail in the Rain Moving About by Melissa Ginsburg.

The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Today’s poem moves quietly and deliberately, the way a cautious deer might walk from the shelter of the woods into a clearing. I love the sounds of this poem, and its pacing.”
