Today’s poem is Cuffing Season by Lisa Fay Coutley.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Love is a force that reconciles what is, in contradistinction, wrong in the world. Because I know that love is real, and that love is right. But sometimes finding love is a journey that takes longer than some but is worth it. Today’s poem wrestles with the tentativeness by which relationships are pursued, given the scariness of their potential outcomes.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
