Reflecting on his childhood, Andrew fondly remembers his father reading poetry aloud to him and his sister as they sailed on their sailboat. This week, Andrew and Julie turn to the topic of poetry and discuss the value in hearing, learning, and reciting it. The duo talk about the appreciation of poetry for its music-like nature and discuss the great joy in sharing poetry with others.
