Letters

This week's episode is often in direct conversations with our previous episode 3.7 "Alive." Aaron's high school self brings his notable style of subtlety to this week's poem.  And by that we mean, the title tells you exactly everything to pay attention for this poem.   Dave and Aaron attempt to improve the work with some actual -yet small- success.  Meanwhile Dave continues his renaissance of "must be read" poems at the start of this episode.  Content Warning: This week's poem deals with ideas around suicide.  If you are someone you know are struggling with thoughts of suicide, severe depression, or anxiety, please speak up, talk with family or friends, or text or call the US national lifeline 988.  Support is out there and you are worth it.   My Bad Poetry Episode 3.9: "Letters" End Poem from a Real Poet: "[The cry of the cicada]" by Matsuo Basho -translation by William George Aston Podcast Email: [email protected] Twitter: @MyBadPoetryThe1 Website: https://www.podpage.com/my-bad-poetry/
