Summary

Today’s poem is Something there is that doesn’t love by Armen Davoudian. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Fences and walls are human-made structures, and they are inevitably eroded by the landscape itself: the rocks fall or are worn down by wind and rain; the wood rots or topples. And what happens when the boundary between what one person owns and what another person owns falls, or fails? Then what?” We’re asking you, our community of listeners, to help us select poems to share on the show in an upcoming week of special programming.
