This week’s celebration of words is a little different as I’m looking at poetry.
Poetry, while one of my great loves, is not an area of expertise, nor something I much studied formally.
So please join me in the spirit of exploration and amateurish pleasure.
There is much to discover, even with using basic literary and rhetorical knowledge, and the poem in question — Joy Harjo’s ‘For Calling the Spirit Back from Wandering the Earth in Its Human Feet’ — is rapturous.
I highly recommend popping over to her website and hearing it read by its creator.
