Today’s poem is I do not mention the war in my birthplace to my six-year-old son but somehow his body knows by Julia Kolchinsky.
The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Children are so talented at asking unanswerable questions. Questions that cut you to the quick. I remember driving around with my daughter Violet when she was in preschool—three, four years old—and she would ask me these enormous, existential questions from her booster seat behind me.”
