The Insomnia Project

Poetry, Peonies, and Peaceful Slumber


Listen Later

Welcome back to The Insomnia Project, the podcast designed to ease you into a restful night's sleep.

Tonight, your hosts Amanda and Marco delve into the soothing world of poetry and the gentle anticipation of spring.


In this episode, you'll drift off to:

  • Poetic Musings: Amanda and Marco share some of their favorite poems and poets, exploring what resonates with them in the world of verse.
  • The Cue Card Conundrum: They engage in a robust discussion about their individual feelings on using cue cards, offering insights into their different approaches to presenting and speaking.
  • Marco's Note-Taking Secrets: Marco provides a peek behind the curtain, describing his personal method for creating effective and manageable notes.
  • A Moment of Verse: Amanda lends her calming voice to a reading of a beautiful poem by the beloved Mary Oliver.
  • Marco's Layton Attempt: Marco bravely takes on the challenge of reading a poem by the iconic Canadian poet, Irving Layton (expect a touch of charming imperfection!).
  • The Earth Awakens: Transitioning from the literary to the natural, Amanda and Marco discuss the simple wonder of soil and the exciting arrival of peony shoots, a gentle reminder of the season's quiet progress.

We hope this episode provides a peaceful soundscape to guide you towards a restful night.
