The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, guest host Jason Schneiderman writes\u2026 \u201cToday\u2019s poem uses the form of a dictionary definition the way other poems use the form of the sonnet or villanelle. Instead of starting with a highly technical and specific word, like \u201cirony\u201d or \u201ccardiovascular,\u201d Phillis Levin starts with the seemingly simple word \u201cPart,\u201d a common word that, it turns out, can mean many things.\u201d
