Do you ever feel like there’s just not enough time for you ? I’m in one of those seasons. When I sat down to plan this week’s episode, I thought I’d explore the poetry of Chiyo-ni — and oh, the rabbit holes I found! That’s going to take more time. But today, I just needed a slower pace… and maybe you do too. So, I offer you something gentler: ✨ a jazz-infused session of haiku and senryū, ✨ poems to breathe with, ✨ words that settle the heart. You’ll hear work from Lenard D. Moore , Stanford M. Forrester , Jennifer Gurney , Debbie Strange , Lakshmi Iyer , and many more — including the unforgettable lines of Chiyo-ni herself. 🎙️ This episode isn’t a workshop or deep dive — it’s a quiet conversation with the poems I’ve been holding close lately. Think of it as late-night jazz… in haiku form. show notes
