[encore] 1202: If only by Dawn Lundy Martin
Published 11 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Today’s poem is If only by Dawn Lundy Martin.
The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We’ll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we’re revisiting some favorites from Major Jackson’s time as host. Today’s episode was originally released on September 24, 2024.
In this episode, Major writes… “Today’s poem unapologetically claims psychic space. In order to be at peace and clear-eyed, the speaker forgoes decorative language that would obscure what their heart and mind believe is ethically true.”
