29 Mei 2021

I read two poems by Nissim Ezekiel this week titled - "Goodbye Party for Miss Pushpa T. S." and "Jewish Wedding in Bombay". Nissim is an iconic Indian poet, most active in the decades right after India's Independence. I find his poems delightful, raw postcards from a time in Bombay that I haven' ...

#59: Inspiration in solitude - Billy Collins says how

15 Mei 2021

I read a poem by Billy Collins this week titled - "Advice to Writers". It's a short and clear poem that lays out a day in the life of a writer and how he creates the space outside and within to invite inspiration. One that you can use no matter what profession you are in. The poem is a reminder ...

#57: Two poems - Death as a habit and Prayer is Attention

1 Mei 2021

I read two poems this week by Mary Oliver. She is the one poet who always finds the right words to articulate the moment. In this episode I read - "Every Morning" which contextualises death and how we become used to it. The second poem is "The Real Prayers Are Not The Words But The Attention Tha ...

#56: When you feel like you occupy too much space, read this poem

24 Apr 2021

I read "Keeping Things Whole" by Mark Strand. This poem is one of my absolute favourites, the sort you scribble on a piece of paper and keep in your purse. A reminder that we all fragment, that we all also cause others to fragment, and then we moe. We move, we heal. Listen in! The poem I read ...

I read "The female of the species" by Gauri Deshpande. Last episode we read about flying penises that don't quite fly.

S2E4: A Flying Penis (I swear I am not making this up)

17 Apr 2021

Or when it doesn't? In this episode, I read "Lorena" by Lucille Clifton. Short, wicked poem that is fun just as it is but that is important if you really look. Saying anything more is to give away the poem. Listen in! The poem I read is from: https://www.theparisreview.org/poetry/1598/lorena-lu ...

S2E3: Penniless and Rich - A vagabond poet on payday

14 Apr 2021

In this episode, I read "$$$$$$" by Charles Bukowski. It's a lyrical poem, rather fun if you don’t take it seriously. But I urge you to take it seriously. To listen to it once for the poem itself, and then another one for the voice of the poet, for what he is really saying. Listen in! The poem I ...

S2E2: Who is normal? Are you? Then you are just fine.

10 Apr 2021

In this episode, I read "Fine" by Kim Addonizio. It's a short poem and complements the poem Peers that I read in Episode 1 really well. Peers was about looking back at time, this one is set in the present and an incisive look at the present at that. It may feel morbid but listen to the alternati ...
