875: Olympians vs. Modernity
b'
Today\\u2019s poem is Olympians vs. Modernity by Adelaide Sendlenski. This week\\u2019s episodes are for, and feature, young poets.
Adelaide, today\\u2019s co-host, is a dedicated tennis player. She\\u2019s so busy with school and sports that she writes poetry in the minutes between, thinking up lines while in motion. Today\\u2019s poem is one of her own, a poem which deftly connects the power of the Greek gods to the power we aim to claim through consumer culture.
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!
