Philip Levine's deceptively simple "The Simple Truth" lays out what makes us human: the ability to taste simple boiled potatoes, seasoned with butter and salt. It has been a part of my life for decades now. It is lodged in my soul. I can't wait to share it with you.

Philip Levine, "The Simple Truth"

Join me, Mark Scarbrough, on this bookmarked journey through some of the best lyric poetry in English . I've got a passion for small, evocative poems. I'd like to share that with out--as well as those poems, of course! Together, we'll encounter the core things that make us human: love, the inner life, the emotions, our notion of purpose, and our relationship with the natural world around us. Join me. We humans are made for each other!
