WHEN POEMS ARE BORN

Poetry isn't just something you read, it's something you must hear.

The shape of the poet's breath, the cadence, the way their voice leans into a word,

all of it carries meaning that ink alone can't recreate.

In this reading from Alchemy of Headwinds,

John Macker's elegy for Barry Lopez

becomes more than text on a page,

it becomes wind, memory, and music.

TURN UP THE VOLUME & LET IT HIT YOU

WHERE INK CAN'T REACH.

Come back to this spot next Tuesday for another installment of our series.
