1081: The Leaving by Brigit Pegeen Kelly

Today’s poem is The Leaving by Brigit Pegeen Kelly. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.

In this episode, guest host Victoria Chang writes… “This is a poem that seems so easy to describe, yet it’s so hard to pin down–my favorite kind of poem–both clear and mysterious. It’s dreamlike, mystical, biblical, and so much more. It magically depicts what it’s like to be a child on the cusp of something, in the face of the largeness of the world.”
