1442: Apocatastasis by G.C. Waldrep

The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

Today’s poem is Apocatastasis by G.C. Waldrep.


The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “When a poet, or a child, plays with figurative language, they explore the possibilities and the boundaries of the words we use to describe the world around us. Life will throw at us things that are hard or impossible to describe, both beautiful and awful things. So I think that kind of play isn't just a writing tool—it's a life skill.”
