Listen Later

Y'all—as soon as I finished recording this episode, I closed the copy of my Poetry magazine, from which I selected this poem, and wouldn't you guess it... her poem and the line I was obsessed with was *the* highlight on the back cover. The universe just loves to pepper us with fairy dust sometimes.

Today's prompt for space to BE is a poem by Maggie Smith. I don't have any affiliate links, but here's where you can catch more of Smith:
