Hi all! I’ve recorded a brief teaser for the podcast, which you should now be able to find (and subscribe to! and rate! and tell friends about!) in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc. Here is a link to the podcast in Apple and here it is via Spotify.
Just three and a half minutes of your time, but hopefully you’ll get a better sense there of what to expect once the podcast gets going. I talk in the teaser about wanting the feeling of closeness that comes from attending to something like a poem with someone who happens to be far away, and it occurred to me that I have been trying to describe versions of this feeling in my writing for the past couple years. This piece, for instance, where I begin by talking about wanting to be very close to someone while looking with them at something far away, or this piece, also in The Point, where I wrote about the rooms that poems make.
That’s all for now! Please do subscribe to the podcast—as new episodes roll in (and I have a really wonderful list of guests emerging), those episodes will appear in your feeds. And thank you all for subscribing here. It feels wonderful to be connected with so many of you.
