Read Me A Poem Podcast - 02: The Geranium
The Geranium by Theodore Roethke was published in 1966 in Roethke: Collected Poems bringing renewed interest to one of the great American writers of poetry. A friend brought this poem, and Roethke, to my attention one day when she quoted, “vitamins, water, and whatever.” The phrase stuck in my mind, and I have loved this poem ever since.
You can read more about Roethke at the Poetry Foundation.
Brought to you by... - 47: Drinking Buddies: Jack Daniel and Nearest Green
Jack Daniel’s is the top-selling whiskey in the world. For more than 150 years, it’s been made using time-honored methods that go back to when Jack Daniel made the whiskey himself. (Yes, he was a real person.) But who taught “Mr. Jack” how to make that whiskey? Nearest Green, a formerly enslaved man. Unlike Jack Daniel, though, most people don’t know his name, so one woman has made it her mission to tell the world his story one sip at a time.

In the spiel, the virus doesn’t care but America still does.
