Description

Today’s poem is What to Do With the Hedges by Bernard Ferguson. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Today’s poem acknowledges the complex task of committing to the earth, which means committing to a sustainable future but also, identifying the entangled histories of colonization — of both people and of natural habitats.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
