Today’s poem is The Burning Kite by Ouyang Jianghe, translated by Austin Woerner.


The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Every once in a while, a poem comes along with imagery so startling, phrasing so original, I have to read it several times in a row to be sure I’m taking it all in. Today’s poem is one of them.”
