Poems for the Speed of Life

Each episode includes a reading of a one short poem, some idea of what the poem might be about, and an invitation to allow the poem to speak to you however it does.
More than anything, poetry is an exploration. A poem can provide a window into the thoughts and feelings of others, and through that window you often also see yourself in a new way.
