1517: Liquefying by Chloe Yelena Miller

The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

Today’s poem is Liquefying by Chloe Yelena Miller.


The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Poets use language the way an artist uses paint, the way sculptors use clay. It’s our material. We have to use it wisely, not only as craftspeople but as humans who care about others. The way today’s poem talks about vision — and vision problems — is original, and vulnerable, and full of nuance. It uses the idea of vision to speak not only into the future, but also, into the past.”
