Small Truths and Other Surprises with Jericho Brown | ON BEING

“The poet Jericho Brown reminds us to bear witness to the complexity of the human experience, to interrogate the proximity of violence to love, and to look and listen closer so that we might uncover the small truths and surprises in life. His presence is irreverent and magnetic, as the high school students who joined us for this conversation experienced firsthand at the 2018 Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival. And now he’s won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
Editor’s note: This interview discusses sexual violence and rape.”

Out of Time by Damon Albarn with the Orchestra of Syrian Musicians
Nothing like the balm of music for the tender soul as we approach a year of Coronavirus lockdown.
Lyrics:
Where's the love song to set us free
Too many people down
Everything turning the wrong way round
And I don't know what love will be
But if we stop dreaming now
Lord know we'll never clear the clouds
And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time to open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
Feel the sunshine on your face
It's in a computer now
Gone are the future way out in space
And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time to open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time, to open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
Tell me I'm not dreaming but are we out of time
We're out of time, out of time, out of time
Out of time, out of time
