Welcome to week 4! This is a crowd fave when it comes to Wendell poems, and it evokes a variety of interpretations. When I met Colum McCann, he had his teenage son present himself and recite it to me, the most baller of intros. My cool publicist Carla said about the piece, “What we’re looking for is right here on earth. It takes an old friend to remind us of that sometimes.” Enjoy! ‘A Wonder Is What It Is’ is a #poetrymonth miniseries from WNYC’s daily live radio show, All Of It with Alison Stewart, dedicated to poet, activist, author, and National Humanities Medal recipient, Wendell Berry. New installments will air on allofitwnyc. 📻 Series link is in the bio. Tune in live or listen on demand at wnyc.org.
