The Slowdown - a poem read aloud each day by Poet Laureate Tracy Smith
https://www.slowdownshow.org/
Response to Joy Harjo’s poem “Perhaps the World Ends Here”
She speaks of a kitchen table. I wonder, how many of us have sat at such a table where babyies teethed and wars began and ended? I think of communal meals when company came together, and we pulled on each of the round wooden table. It expanded and we put a center board in to accommodate the extra guests. She tells us that children became men and women at such tables. We learned secrets as everyone ate well. Did we live as well as we ate? Reading this poem, I see how she became Poet Laureate of the United States.
