Loved this discussion! I think it was actually your pod that led me to Poetry Unbound, which is now on constant rotation for me. I always pause the recording after the first reading of the poem to take a minute with it myself before he starts to reflect on it, and I treat it like a contemplative practice.
Also, I have an entire delightful bookcase of books I haven't read yet, and I feel seen ;-)
I absolutely love the depth and insight I gained from the reading and re-reading is reading practice! This was liberating for me, and the slow fire I feel inside me is what connects me to the warm love all writers write with. I am gratefully inspired.
