[encore] 526: Saudade
Today’s poem is Saudade by Silvia Bonilla.
The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We’ll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we’re going back into the archive to revisit Ada Limón’s time as host. Today’s episode was originally released on October 19, 2021.
In this episode, former host Ada Limón writes… “There are days I’m prone to see the nostalgia in things, the ache of the moment. Most days, I try to focus on the bright edges, those little seams of joy that vibrate in the world. One of the many reasons I love today’s poem is that it is full of that cantaloupe-colored longing and makes no apologies.”
