[encore] 1078: Ferment by Monica Rico
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Our episode today is one of many from the archives. We’ll be back tomorrow with more new poetry and reflection!
Today’s poem is Ferment by Monica Rico. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.
In this episode, Major writes… “When writing poems and essays, I saturate my brain, when in fact, I should instead let intuition and a meandering knowing take over. There is something in the old-time folk wisdom, in what some used to call “common sense,” that which cannot be learned in a book, but arrives from the sweet streets of living.”
