You love poetry. We love poetry. And we want to bring you more of it. That’s why we’re inviting you to subscribe to The Slowdown, a newsletter and podcast from the 22nd U.S. Poet Laureate, Tracy K. Smith. Every weekday, Smith handpicks a poem to read, and shares why that poem speaks to her. Smith believes that, at its core, poetry can be useful. Over the last year, she's shared more than 200 poems that we've found invaluable for times of celebration, love, grief and so much more. Like this one, about the power of small acts of kindness. Or this one, about surviving lost places. The Slowdown is like a poetry master class, a note from a friend, and a moment of meditation, all in one. To start receiving The Slowdown email newsletter every weekday, subscribe below.
