Today\u2019s poem is Hunger by Kelli Russell Agodon.
This spring, we asked our community to submit poems that have helped you slow down in your lives. Thank you to the nearly 300 of you who sent us poems to read and enjoy. This week we\u2019re featuring the team\u2019s selections. Today\u2019s selection was submitted by Jeannine from Washington. In this episode, Major writes\u2026 \u201cWhat is it about this stage of dating that has us turn off the radar, render us blind to the red flags, to what we hope our instincts should catch? We become wild in our desperation to present ourselves as worthy of love. Our passionate hearts render us prey to the lost souls who present facades of well-being.\u201d
