#20 - A poem for all we lose that cannot be restored
In this episode, I read "Atlantis - A Lost Sonnet" by Eavan Boland. 2020 refuses to relent. It is a crash course in endings and loss. This poem by Eavan who passed away just this April, is an evocative question and answer. She begins with a reference to the mythical city of Atlantis and asks how can a city just disappear? But is then reminded of things and people who have disappeared from her life. She comes to a conclusion both rich and humbling about how human beings deal with loss. Listen in!
