Description
Today’s poem is Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. This week’s episodes are for, and feature, young poets. Our producers met up with Nova at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens while the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. And as much as she loved the pink blossoms, the poetry she’s created there comes from more unexpected places. She is a pro at embracing the strangeness of the world, at finding the quiet places so she can really listen to that weirdness. I think this is a lesson that everyone can carry with them, regardless of age. Poets like Lewis Carroll, one of her favorites, have been doing it for generations.
