Today’s poem is It Too Remains by Glyn Maxwell. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.

In this episode, Major writes… “Though spoken to a single person, today’s elegiac poem makes a universal claim about loss; our hearts, mind, and bodies and the memories within render permanent, even conjure, those we once loved on this side of life.”
