Sometimes a poem takes your breath away with the gorgeous sweep of its memory, and by its refusal to look away.
Words by Winter: Conversations, reflections, and poems about the passages of life. Because it’s rough out there, and we have to help each other through.
Original theme music for our show is by Dylan Perese. Additional music by Kelly Krebs. Artwork by Mark Garry. Today’s poem, love & the memory of it, by Jay Hopler, is featured here with kind permission of the poet. Jay Hopler’s new book, Still Life, will be out from McSweeney’s in April. I’ve preordered it and you should too. Words by Winter can be reached at wordsbywinterpodcast@gmail.com.
