<p>Today’s poem is Panis Angelicus by Carol Muske-Dukes. </p><br/><p>The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… "There is music everywhere — played from the stereos of passing cars, sung by unselfconscious walkers wearing headphones. There’s the slamming of screen doors. The barking dogs. The occasional siren. And those noises are a kind of music, too."</p><br/><p>This show is supported by gifts from listeners.
