[encore] 541: Little Grey Dreams by Angelina Weld Grimké

Today’s poem is Little Grey Dreams by Angelina Weld Grimké.

The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We’ll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we’re going back into the archive to revisit Ada Limón’s time as host. Today’s episode was originally released on November 9, 2021.

In this episode, former host Ada Limón writes… “Today’s meaningful poem by early 20th century poet Angelina Weld Grimké is a tribute to dreaming, the wishes we send into the world without an idea of what will become of them.”
