The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily
Arts:Performing Arts
Today’s poem is Mercy, Mercy Me by Olatunde Osinaike.
The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… "The speaker in today’s poem survives by an adherence to their values — but also by a willingness to adopt new codes, to risk new experiences, to take on new attitudes.”
