Today\\u2019s poem is Self-Portrait as Derivatives Trader by Jos\\xe9 Edmundo Ocampo Reyes. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes\\u2026 \\u201cChange and adventure are important aspects of a poets\\u2019 growth. To write against convention is to test the limits of poetic form, of language, of our imagination. Sometimes that risk looks like writing in forms different than what is generally expected. Sometimes, shaking it up is approaching topics that feel vulnerable, both personally and communally. And I think, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.\\u201d Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp
