1105: Self-Portrait with Tumbling and Lasso by Eduardo C. Corral The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

Today’s poem is Self-Portrait with Tumbling and Lasso by Eduardo C. Corral.
The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… "These days, we are loving reading and writing self-portrait poems, what I call the “verbal selfie.” It allows the author to be the runway, to elevate themselves into the frame of language. In so doing, the poet, like the author of today’s poem, experiments with perceptions of the self. I like how the poet in Rembrandt-fashion mythologizes himself in the lyric.”
