"Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile, the world goes on..."--Mary Oliver, "Wild Geese" The world that you and I knew has ended and many things are changing and yet, the sun still rises and sets, and the spring flowers are blooming here in the Mojave Desert. The earth--- our source and ground---is beneath our feet. Here is a program of poetry to connect you with all the life and beauty that remains despite the great changes underway. I've included poems by Eleanor Lerman, James Wright, Czeslaw Milosz, W.S. Merwin, Billy Collins, Wallace Stevens, Eavan Boland, David Whyte, Pat Mora, and Mary Oliver. In celebration of National Poetry month here in the United States-- and of all the good that remains.“Poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence.” —Audre LordeA transcript of this episode is available at www.mythicmojo.com.Thanks for listening!Support the showEmail Catherine at drcsvehla@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!
