Pádraig Ó Tuama's gorgeous meditation on being is a fit lyric poem for this year of Covid--or really, for any year, for any moment, when the human question is not what you do, nor even who you are, but simply how you go about being. Not the business of being. The rest of it. The silence of it. The peace of it. The best lyric poetry opens up a space for being. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as I explore this quiet and comforting meditation by a contemporary Irish poet and truth-teller.
