Listening time: 10 minutes. 

It’s been playing on my mind, the fact that recently I haven’t learned any new poems by heart.  This led me to revisit a short essay I wrote a while back, which I’m glad to share in this podcast.  The written text, along with illustrated quotations, is featured here. 

And if any of this inspires you to commit a piece or a poem you love to memory – let me know.
