1375: Dear Absent, by Marcus Wicker
from The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily Hosted by American Public Media
Today’s poem is Dear Absent, by Marcus Wicker. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Today’s poem is so relatable, because the speaker is doing what I so often do: watching videos on the internet in the middle of the night. But then the poem turns to address “the elephant in the room”: the absence at the heart of the poem. A note of preparation: This poem will touch you deeply if you have experienced pregnancy loss.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
