0:00.0	Hey friends, I'm David Kern here at Goldberry Books in Concord, North Carolina, and this is The Daily Poem, a podcast for people who love poetry, or want to learn to love poetry.
0:12.3	We have been on a hiatus for the last several months, but I'm excited to let you know that on Monday, May 22nd, next Monday, the Daily Poem is coming back with new episodes
0:22.7	each and every weekday. Our goal is to add a touch of the sublime to the daily routine,
0:29.6	a bit of beauty to the daily grind, if you will. Over the years, we've shared a lot of poems
0:34.3	on this show, hundreds of them, in fact, and as we relaunch,
0:37.7	we may dip back into some of those same poems by some of those same poets.
0:42.6	Every new reading offers something new, after all.
0:45.6	But, rest assured, we will also be sharing new poems, some by the greats, the poets you've
0:50.4	heard of again and again, but also poems by lesser-known writers, some of them contemporary
0:55.4	artists, but will always be looking for ways to enliven and enrich all of our lives. I have roped in a
1:03.1	couple of my friends, Heidi White and Sean Johnson, to help me from time to time, and I am confident
1:07.7	that you will enjoy their readings of many great poems.
1:15.9	And I also need to give a quick shout out to our editor, Logan Green, who makes us sound listenable, without whom we could not do any of the podcast that we do.
1:20.2	So shout out to Logan. Thank you so much to him.
1:22.7	That's all I'm going to say for now, but I hope you'll come back on Monday for the official relaunch.
1:27.0	Now, in the meantime, I am going to leave you with the following poem, which I think is worth
1:31.5	reading a few days after Mother's Day. It is a poem by Cecil Day Lewis, an English poet.
1:38.1	It's called Walking Away. And whereas normally I would read the poem, offer some comments and
1:42.2	then read it again, just as we get set to relaunch the show, I'm just going to read this one poem as a bit of a
1:48.8	bridge to the official relaunch. So this is for all the moms out there. Walking Away by Cecil
1:55.5	Day Lewis. It is 18 years ago, almost to the day.
2:04.0	A sunny day with leaves, just turning.
