Poem As Food for the Soul: The Fat of the Land

A friend emailed me this morning with a poem from The Writer's Almanac about summer family reunions. Photo by djtansey

She advised:

Click on the link to listen to Garrison Keillor read the poem aloud. It’s much better that way.

So I did. I read along while listening to the woodsy voice of the long time host of  A Prairie Home Companion. It was a five minute break in the workday that was as yummy as a piece of chocolate cake.  Food for the soul, indeed. Let me know if your experience is the same.

Love your commentary. I felt the same. I think this might become the quintessential poem of this era for half the population.

Thanks, Stacia, for your comment. In an age where we are connected like never before, I think there is a hunger for being together in a deeper, more meaningful way. This poem speaks to that.
