The holidays are a time to reflect. What better way to celebrate than with a Philly-born, award-winning poet who hosts a podcast dedicated to poetry? Back in April, host Trenae Nuri chatted with Major Jackson, host of The Slowdown podcast, about the reasons we all need poetry.  

Find the poem Major read, titled “Duck Girl,” here.
