An episode from 5/3/23: Tonight\u2019s episode is a response to those wonderful lines from William Carlos Williams: \u201cIt is ridiculous what airs we put on to seem profound, while our hearts gasp dying for want of love.\u201d If these lines have the ring of truth, what aspects of our lives have we built up so meticulously, when all we really want is love? In my own life, I ask if perhaps poetry, writing\u2014and even this podcast\u2014fall into that category, and wonder if it\u2019s all worth it. \xa0
\nThe music used for the intro is Pink Floyd's "Is There Anybody Out There?"
