ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hello friends!
In between our fuller episodes, in which we share a conversation with someone talking about a poem that is very special to them, we thought we'd start a new occasional offering, between friends...
Expect voices, readings, poems and stories, from our continuing adventures with The Poetry Exchange...
In this first mini-episode between friends, John Prebble reads a poem that has come back to him recently, which really makes him of The Poetry Exchange: 'Introductions' by Moya Cannon.
There will be a new, fuller conversation coming soon, so stay tuned!!
In the meantime, between friends, thank you for listening.

Introductions
by Moya Cannon
Some of what we love
we stumble upon –
a purse of gold thrown on the road,
a poem, a friend, a great song.
And more
discloses itself to us –
a well among green hazels,
a nut thicket –
when we are worn out searching
for something quite different.
And more
comes to us, carried
as carefully
as a bright cup of water,
as new bread.
'Introductions' by Moya Cannon, from The Parchment Boat, The Gallery Press, 1997
