The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

1363: Notes on Beachgrass by Yong-Yu Huang


Listen Later

Today’s poem is Notes on Beachgrass by Yong-Yu Huang.


The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Today’s poem offers us images we often find in poetry: the ocean, the moon, dreams, a mother, a wound. But it offers us these elements in such a profoundly original and moving way. I couldn’t read this poem just once—I had to read it several times, picking up new treasures with each reading, like walking along the same stretch of beach at different times of day and finding new shells.”
