895: Burnt Plastic

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

Categorías:

Today’s poem is Burnt Plastic by Sean Singer. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, guest host Jason Schneiderman writes… “Today’s poem is by Sean Singer, who, like me, is a teacher, but at a certain point he became a cab driver to support himself. In his poems about driving a cab, he experiences not a lilting relational arc of guiding students through a semester, but a staccato chord of intense contact, a brief and unguarded glimpse into a life, one in which he is equal parts service provider and witness.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
