Ep. 92: "Driving Dad to The Dog Museum" by Gailmarie Pahmeier
This is Episode 92 of Poems for the Speed of Life.
Today's poem is "Driving Dad to The Dog Museum" by Gailmarie Pahmeier.
Gailmarie Pahmeier is the Poet Laureate of the state of Nevada in the US. She taught creative writing and contemporary literature at the University of Nevada, Reno, for thirty-seven years. She has published three collections of poetry and a number of chapbooks. This poem was included in her 2014 collection, The Rural Lives of Nice Girls.
"Driving Dad to the Dog Museum" is a poem about aging, and what aging does to us and the people close to us, and what it does to that most precious and intangible thing of all: our memories of who we, and they, used to be, and no longer are.
As with every poem in every episode of this podcast, these introductions are intended as a first jumping off point, not a final judgment. If a poem says something to you — something more or something different than I mention here — allow it to speak.
