873: Occasional Poem
b'
Today\\u2019s poem is Occasional Poem by Jaqueline Woodson. This week\\u2019s episodes are for, and feature, young poets.
Today\\u2019s co-host, Jasper, and I share an entry point to poetry \\u2013 music. In the songs he\\u2019s written, he seeks an honesty and perspective in relationships, which reflects so many great poems. Sometimes, the best way to make sense of something is to bring sound to it \\u2013 whether the spoken word, a guitar strum, or an onomatopoeia.
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!
