ABOUT THIS EPISODE
I read two poems by Mary Oliver this week titled - "Mysteries, Yes" and "Percy (Nine)". I have been away for a couple of months and in this time I have been slow reading the volume Devotions - Selected poems by Mary Oliver. Her poems have a way of slipping into your day without attracting any attention, have a way of being on your mind without you explicitly recalling any of the words. Her poems truly are a mood, one that I have been consciously slipping into these busy days in the last two months. So much so that I hope to read at least a few more of her poems from this exceptional volume in the upcoming episodes. Stay tuned :)
I read the poems from the physical copy of Devotions that I have with me. The poem "Mysteries, Yes" is from her book Evidence, and "Percy (Nine)" is from Dog Songs.

Well, Ellipsis is back. You didn't think it would happen? Neither did I after all this time :) But poetry and me and you, we are suckers for misery, we are suckers for hope. And a poem or two is always around to give you company here on Ellipsis. This short introduction is a primer to Season 2, som…
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 re…
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 alternative …
In this episode, I read “Hazaron Khwahishain Aisi" by Mirza Ghalib. This is also the last episode of Ellipsis Season-1. I will be taking a 4 week break after this and return on the first Tuesday of November. I hope Ellipsis nudged you gently into reading and exploring poetry on your own a bit. When…
In this episode, I read "Peers" by Craig Morgan Teicher. I loved reading this poem in the latest issue of The New Yorker magazine. Link below. The poem is a piece of contemplative nostalgia, a trek down to your early twenties, a rumination of what we thought we had ahead of us, of dreams and ambiti…
