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

Today’s poem is And the Beautiful by Paul Celan. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, guest host Shira Erlichman writes… “The work of today’s poet, Paul Celan, was marked by genocide. This small poem by Celan reckons with what is brutally taken, what is lost. He doesn’t offer us superficial answers to endless grief. He offers only questions. And I sense, inside the questions, the immense task of facing a violent and brutal world.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
