Tell Me Something True
What poem is inspiring me these days? I have long loved “The Thing Is” by Ellen Bass, and in this fabulous podcast, Living Poetry, along with host Susan Cunningham I read the poem and we talk about why I am so inspired by it. We also look at one of my poems, “A Letter Sent Back in Time to Schumann,” and use it as a launching point to talk about how poetry helps us continue to show up in difficult times and why beauty is so important, even when, especially when, we are suffering or anxious.
