Pockets of the Day [SSL168]

I’m thankful for my friends Noel Young and his correspondence and Michael Wright (from his thoughtful weekly newsletter Still Life) for introducing me to the gorgeous, spacious, and needed gems from three poets that I will share with you today: Steve Garnaas-Holmes, Mary Oliver, and Yahia Lababidi.

Where the World Ends; poet, Joy Harjo [SSL155]

Poetry by its form and delivery can create space and time for reflection giving us a chance to feel clarity and more abundance. Today I share 3 poems that give us a most extraordinary look at ordinary things that mark our lives and weave them tougher by a talented woman who is a sage for us especially in more difficult times.

Joy Harjo was appointed the United States poet laureate in 2019. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1951, Harjo is a member of the Mvskoke/Creek Nation. 🚩and accept my apologies, in this episode I mispronounce Harjo with a Spanish silent “J”. <HAR-joe> is the correct way to say this poet’s surname. Locate Joy’s work and poetry books HERE (Music in this episode from Free Music Archives. song: Rain by Unheard Music Concepts)

Find links to read the poems and more on Joy and today’s episode, free today, at the support site, HERE.
