Summary

Host Tamarah Rockwood takes listeners on an intimate journey through four powerful poems from "POETICS: water - life & death." This episode explores the profound connections between water, spirituality, and human experience through Greg Jensen's "Holy Water," Eve Epstein's "I left anyway," Dianne Knox's "He knew water," and Ruth K. Hunt's "Prayer, After Her Death." Join us as we dive deep into how these poets use water as both literal and metaphorical force—examining themes of ritual, departure, knowledge, and grief, revealing water's role in marking life's most significant transitions and sacred moments.
