[encore] 684: I Would Do Anything For Love, But I Won't by Traci Brimhall

The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

Today’s poem is I Would Do Anything For Love, But I Won't by Traci Brimhall.


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 May 27 2022.


In this episode, former host Ada Limón writes… “I am often laughing with my husband about our own idiosyncrasies. The part of us that only we know, the things that could never be said to anyone else but each other. I love that private language. That lexicon. My private moments, his private moments. I have it with good friends too, the things that don’t require explanation. That’s the real history of us.”
