1477: Surety by Anna Zumbahlen

The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

Today’s poem is Surety by Anna Zumbahlen.


The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Writing is a way of memorizing moments. I know this. I do this. Because a poem can act as a portal, taking me back to a specific time and place. So often, mid-experience, I start to sense the poetic possibility of the moment. I find myself making a metaphor or grasping for imagery and descriptive language. I’m half living in the present, half processing this moment’s future on the page.”
