Episode description

Today’s poem is 5 A.M. by Michael Ondaatje. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.


In this episode, Major writes… “The nature of my youth was one in which my passion for art lived out in my passion for life. At times, there was a recklessness about it. Like Greg, Quraysh, and me spilling out of a Soho bar at first light, having debated literature and writers with a seriousness that felt like life mattered, truly mattered.”
