Hello lovelies! Another visit to the cozy campfire for some sweet poetry. I was going to read more Song of Myself, but I got inspired to go further afield of the mainstream. Whitman has received a lot of attention, and I wanted to share something you might not have heard of before.

For your listening pleasure I present two poems from an anthology called Staying Alive that did, indeed, save my life. Take heart, my loves, in this wild time with comforting words and well-spun metaphors.

My Life with Horses by Polly Clarke

Supernatural Love by Gjertrud Schnackenburg
