872: Jabberwocky
b'
Today\\u2019s poem is Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. This week\\u2019s episodes are for, and feature, young poets. Our producers met up with Nova at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens while the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. And as much as she loved the pink blossoms, the poetry she\\u2019s created there comes from more unexpected places. She is a pro at embracing the strangeness of the world, at finding the quiet places so she can really listen to that weirdness. I think this is a lesson that everyone can carry with them, regardless of age. Poets like Lewis Carroll, one of her favorites, have been doing it for generations.
We would love to hear your thoughts on these special episodes for young people. Please go to slowdownshow.org/survey to tell us what you think!
