1549: Thirst Trap by Caleb Curtiss
from The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily Hosted by American Public Media
Today’s poem is Thirst Trap by Caleb Curtiss. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “People post seductive selfies for all kinds of reasons. They might want validation in the forms of likes and comments. They might be single and hoping to meet someone online. They might be trying to build a following, or promote a product. Someone’s face or body is going to grab a lot more eyes on social media than text on a plain background. Which means we’re often attaching our bodies to our labor or art. Regardless of how you feel about this, it is, in a way, deeply intimate.” This show is made possible by gifts from listeners. Support The Slowdown today. Slowdownshow.org/donate
