The New Yorker: Poetry

NOTE

Embracing Wildness and Reflection in Poetry

The poem 'Still Life with Potatoes, Pearls, Raw Meat, Rhinestones, Lard, and Horsehooves' by Sandra Sisneros was chosen for its wildness, representing a time of hanging out, dreaming, and having fun with people despite current limitations. It reflects being at the verge of ruin and discovery, creating a space where both concepts merge. The poem captures a sense of freedom and introspection, inviting listeners to explore the boundaries between chaos and creativity.
