1288: A Drink in the Night by Deborah Garrison
Today’s poem is A Drink in the Night by Deborah Garrison. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.
In this episode, guest host Maggie Smith writes… “Today’s poem captures a scene between a parent and child that feels both familiar and miraculous. I love that poems are a place where the everyday and the transcendent can live side by side. Because they live side by side in life, too. There’s wonder everywhere, even in the tiniest, most banal moments. We just have to open our eyes to see it—or, as this poem suggests, open our mouths to taste it.”
