Wake, Butterfly: What Else Is True? with Marie Howe


Listen Later

In the final episode of season 2, Marie Howe invites listeners to find what’s praisable. 

Matsuo Bashō wrote:

Wake, butterfly— 
it's late, we've miles 
to go together.

Poetry magazine presents Wake, Butterfly, a series of intimate portraits that invite listeners to keep creating. The series is produced by Rachel James with sound design by Axel Kacoutié.

Here’s an edited version of Marie Howe’s prompt:

Consider one of the stories of your life that feels fixed, and allow yourself to gaze around that story to find something else in that story—even if the story is a painful one—that's praisable.
