The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily - Un pódcast de American Public Media

Today’s poem is in the dormitories after dark by James Fujinami Moore. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, guest host Jason Schneiderman writes… “In today’s poem, the poet revisits a childhood experience in which the youthful collective exerts its power by ganging up on another boy. Notice how the poem moves from observation, to complicity, and then to how a youthful wound might take a lifetime to heal.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
