The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily
Arts:Performing Arts
Today’s poem is Villanelle by Michelle Lin. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.
In this episode, guest host Shira Erlichman writes… “Today’s poem centers around the defining relationship of a mother and child. To bring obsession into language, Lin masterfully uses the repetitive poetic form of the villanelle. They fling open doors only to quickly shut them. I know this dance well. The dance of longing and revelation.”
