Today\\u2019s poem is And Everywhere Offering Human Sound by Joan Houlihan.


In this episode, Major writes\\u2026 \\u201cThrough my many years of reading poetry, I feel as though I\\u2019ve absorbed other people\\u2019s stories and feelings. I strongly believe this has fortified me with a spirit of kindness, poetry as a daily pill of compassion. This is a grounding tenet in my belief in poetry as a communal and righteous good. We get to see through each other\\u2019s eyes and feel through each other\\u2019s hearts.\\u201d
