This week at Every Day Poems, we featured a simple poem from Best American Poetry’s David Lehman. Just a little radio ritual.
Our dear Photo Features Editor, Claire Burge, wrote to tell me she feels this way about leaving a lamp on.
How about you? Anything you feel this way about? Maybe could write your own “radio ritual” poem?
