1058: The Dangers of Contemplation

from The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily · host Eliana Benavides

Today’s poem is The Dangers of Contemplation by Ron Slate. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Every poem is a map, a transcription of a contemplative and roaming mind. I am curious about the images that arise out of the poet’s subconscious and the associative thoughts that follow. I particularly delight in the poet whose brain works at scale, a mind that soars from the granular level to expansive ideas, and hovers in between.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
