Listen "READ TO ME from... Women in the Waiting Room by Kirun Kapur"
Episode Synopsis
This week on READ TO ME, we read the poem TREATMENT by Kirun Kapur. Wild. It's wild. Reading this poem, I feel a gathering up of my attention all along the front of my body — like I was a slack windsock that's suddenly full and taut with wind. And then that wind plays me, tosses me around into wryness and laughter, and then into devastation, and into intimacy — into the straight hard line of a story and through circular eddies of a scene that doesn't have a beginning or end — so that by the end the skin along my arms feels taut, too, my heart feels open and pouring, my low belly is feeling a kind of drum beat of something like authority, or inevitability, and somehow a finch is singing on top of my head too. Wild, right? Wild, courtesy of Kirun Kapur. For more info about this book and to read Becky's thoughts, visit here: https://www.readtomepod.com/season2episodes/kirun-kapur
