1142: Hyperacusis by Santee Frazier

Today’s poem is Hyperacusis by Santee Frazier.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, guest host Leslie Sainz writes… “I find that I’m especially sensitive to sound. I also find that sonics drive my poetics. In my role as an editor, I gravitate towards writing that prioritizes rhythm, be it harmonious or unsettling, and I believe phonetics alone has the power to both eschew narrative meaning and dictate it.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
