1395: The Night Angler by Geffrey Davis

The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

Today’s poem is The Night Angler by Geffrey Davis.


The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “My name is Maggie—not Margaret, just Maggie—but the name I hear most often on a daily basis might be Mom. I have my children to thank for that name, because they made me a mother. In this way, we birthed each other. And we continue to shape each other, over the years. Surely I would be different if I had different children. Surely they would be different with other parents.”
