1118: At My Funeral by Hélène Cardona The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

    • Aplikované umenie

Today’s poem is At My Funeral by Hélène Cardona.

The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Ultimately, we do not know the experience of dying. We can only imagine. Artists, though, have fun playing with the mystery of what happens when we transition to no longer walking the earth in the flesh. From the Jerry Zucker movie “Ghost” to Dylan Thomas’s poem “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night,” I have found special comfort in works that find a boldness in facing the inevitable.”
