7: READ TO ME from... A History of the Cetacean American Diaspora by Jenna Le
READ TO ME is the podcast to listen for what we love. In this episode, we fall into poetry with “Majorca, May 1936” from A HISTORY OF THE CETACEAN AMERICAN DIASPORA by Jenna Le. Falling is what it feels like to meet a poem for the first time, and to listen for its power: you have to surrender to and embrace the work at the same time. In this headiest of Gateless listening, we meet the poet Yeats, and we meet Margo Ruddock, and a woman becomes the earth.
