I've been following John Paul Lederach's work for years, finding the words he uses inordinately relevant to all of the details and spaces of my life. John Paul is Professor of International Peacebuilding at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at Notre Dame. He has been a teacher to me across time and space and I believe the ideas he brings into the world are teachers we all need for the world we are walking into.

Today's poem is Rant by Nathalie Anderson.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… "It feels like many people are passing from our lives. Not that the death of a poet is any more devastating, but when a poet dies, my grief is heavier. The year 2023 saw the loss of many poets I admire, including Benjamin Zephaniah and Louise Glück. When poet Donald Hall died in 2018, I noticed a great shift of voices, one generation exiting as another emerged. We will no longer hear their music in language. Maybe, this has always been the case.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp

Today's poem is The Darkling Thrush by Thomas Hardy.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “The late poet Donald Hall said that “A poem is one inside talking to another inside.” We live chiefly in our own minds, but poetry allows us to make public our most intimate thoughts. Our true feelings struggle to find expression; our dreams are a valve. But poetry, too, acts as a channel by which we begin to hear ourselves and hear others. ” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

We took a break from our normal routine of Reformational history and theology. In this episode, Andrew is joined by Frank Hughes, a friend and colleague in ministry who served in the same diocese as him. Frank is also New Testament scholar who has recently co-written a book with his friend and fellow New Testament scholar the late Robert Jewett titled The Corinthian Correspondence: Redaction, Rhetoric, and History. In this book, Hughes and Jewett argue for a partition theory of 1st & 2nd Corinthians (or, that the letters we have today are actually edited, or redacted, products pieced together after Paul from several smaller letters that Paul actually wrote.) This made for a fun talk considering that Frank is a self-described "unrepentant historical critic" while Andrew sees himself more as "post-critical". Enjoy! Frank Hughes holds a Ph.D. through Northwestern University and Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary where he studied under Robert Jewett. He also holds degrees from the University of Chicago and Seabury-Western Seminary. He has taught New Testament at numerous institutions including Codrington College in Barbados where he was Senior Lecturer. He currently serves as Priest-in-Residence at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Ruston, LA. Visit his website here Shownotes -The books that Andrew studied in the seminar he mentioned that he took at Garrett were Theology and Ethics in Paul by V.P. Furnish  and Solidarity and Difference: A Contemporary Reading of Paul's Ethics. -The books Frank mentioned that argued for 1st Corinthians being an integral letter were Paul and the Rhetoric of Reconciliation by Margaret Mitchell and Sacra Pagina: First Corinthians by Raymond Collins. The book Andrew mentioned that argued for both 1st & 2nd Corinthians as integral letters was Donald Hall's Unity of the Corinthian Correspondence. -The past studies on partition theories that Frank referred to in the episode were Robert Jewett's article "The Redaction of I Corinthians and the Trajectory of the Pauline School" from the Journal of the American Academy of Religion and Günther Bornkamm's study "Die Vorgeschichte des sogenannten zweiten Korintherbriefes". -Frank mentioned two important works on culture and rhetoric in Paul's time: George Kennedy's The Art of Rhetoric in the Roman World and Judaism and Hellenism by Martin Hengel. The book Andrew mentioned where Luke Timothy Johnson finds some New Testament rhetorical-criticism to be excessive is Constructing Paul: The Canonical Paul, vol. 1

Thus begins a lyrical journey through the days and weeks, the months, and the changing seasons in the life of one New Englander and his family. The oxcart man packs his goods - the wool from his sheep, the shawl his wife made, the mittens his daughter knitted, and the linen they wove. He packs the birch brooms his son carved, and even a bag of goose feathers from the barnyard geese. He travels over hills, through valleys, by streams, past farms and villages. At Portsmouth Market he sells his goods, one by one - even his beloved ox. Then, with his pockets full of coins, he wanders through the market, buying provisions for his family, and returns to his home. And the cycle begins again. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/slothslovetoread/message

"David Shumate's High Water Mark is absolutely fresh and unpredictable. . . . You will be surprised by your confrontation with the utterly first rate." — Jim Harrison David Shumate is the author of The Floating Bridge and High Water Mark, winner of the 2003 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize. His poetry has appeared widely in literary journals and has been anthologized in Good Poems for Hard Times, The Best American Poetry and The Writer's Almanac. Shumate is poet-in-residence at Marian University and lives in Zionsville, Indiana. David and I talk about poems that surprise you, the elemental essence that gardening, cooking, contemplation, poetry share, what it means to follow the brush, culturing of wisdom is at the heart of the arts, and much more. David also reads a few of his poems including one of my all-time favorites, “Teaching a Child the Art of Confession”. Visit contemplify.com

Today's poem is by Donald Andrew Hall Jr.[1] (September 20, 1928 – June 23, 2018), an American poet, writer, editor and literary critic. He was the author of over 50 books across several genres from children's literature, biography, memoir, essays, and including 22 volumes of verse. Hall was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy, Harvard, and Oxford.[2] Early in his career, he became the first poetry editor of The Paris Review (1953–1961), the quarterly literary journal, and was noted for interviewing poets and other authors on their craft.On June 14, 2006, Hall was appointed as the Library of Congress's 14th Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry (commonly known as "Poet Laureate of the United States").[3] He is regarded as a "plainspoken, rural poet," and it has been said that, in his work, he "explores the longing for a more bucolic past and reflects [an] abiding reverence for nature."[4]—Bio via Wikipedia This is a public episode.

Guest Dudley Carr | Wes Carr Panelists Richard Littauer | Justin Dorfman Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! The podcast where we talk about sustaining open source for the long haul. On this episode, we have two guests joining us. Today, we'll be talking with Dudley Carr and Wes Carr, who are brothers and Founders of StackAid, which is a monthly subscription you can use to automatically fund all of your dependencies. We'll be discussing all things StackAid, learn more about Wes and Dudley's backgrounds, some long-term goals they have, and exciting things on the horizon for StackAid. Go ahead and download this episode now to learn more! [00:02:43] Wes tells us what StackAid is and how it's different. Also, he explains why they chose to only fund first and second order. [00:05:44] Since StackAid's goal is to help developers get money for their careers, we find out how many users are using the platform, how many maintainers, and their corporate sponsor. [00:06:58] In 2006, their start-up got acquired, so we hear about that start-up. [00:09:17] Dudley worked at Google and then switched to Moz and started working on Node.js stuff, and he explains when he made the decision to start tackling dependency payments, helping maintainers, and how they're self-funding the work. [00:13:41] We'll find about Sentry being the only corporate sponsor currently for StackAid and why the most important base they can rely on is individual developers. [00:19:14] Richard wonders what Wes and Dudley are going to do to convince developers to donate more of their money besides putting out content and they explain what their focus is right now. [00:22:23] A question comes up if Wes or Dudley have looked into the minimum viable income that they think has an effect on a project's health. [00:24:49] We hear what Wes and Dudley are doing to help diversify the developer stack and how they allocate their funds. [00:28:59] Dudley explains the reasons why they have zero guides to for people to tell them how they should spend their money in order to make the project more sustainable. [00:31:44] Wes shares the hardest part about building StackAid so far, and some long- term goals and exciting things coming up for StackAid. [00:38:08] Find out where you can follow along with Wes and Dudley online. Quotes [00:08:13] “We attended a peer-to-peer conference back in the day where Shawn Fanning was attending this kind of stuff, and then we bumped into some Google people.” [00:09:30] “Wes and I have been close to open source for a very long time. We've consumed it since the late nineties and have benefited from it tremendously.” [00:10:36] “We wanted to make a concrete contribution back into the open source community in some form.” [00:17:16] “I think evangelism is super important.” [00:17:50] “It's like saying I'm not going to recycle, but I expect the company that I work for to recycle.” [00:23:50] “There's an amount of space that we need to be able to buy people and give them that freedom and that cushion so that they can think of new things or reinvest it in things that they've done.” Spotlight [00:38:54] Justin's spotlight is asdf. [00:39:40] Richard's spotlight is Donald Hall's and his essay, The Third Thing: Poet Donald Hall on the Secret to Lasting Love (The Marginalian). [00:40:16] Dudley's spotlight is the NSQ project. [00:40:52] Wes's spotlight is Benthos.

The poems of Todd Davis sharpen a reader's spirit and focus, on the bloodstained teeth breaking apart the day-to-day doldrums and on the mythic imagination necessary to bear witness to this daunting moment in our species, on our planet.  Todd Davis and I spoke back in 2019 about his book Native Species and he has read his poems in the last two years on the Contemplify Backporch Advent Outpost series. Today we focus on Todd's latest book of poems, Coffin Honey. We step into the rich imagery of characters, landscape, and emotion vibrating off the pages of his work. We also do not shy away from the thick smoke of trauma, poetry as a survival skill, the cost of risking participation in crafting such poems, and much more.  **Before we get started, I want to note that in this episode with Todd Davis we converse about sexual assault and self mutilation, in both personal and mythic stories. If that sounds like a conversation you are not comfortable listening to, we sure understand. Take care of yourself.** Visit Todd's website at todddavispoet.com to slip through the doors of his poetry. Visit contemplify.com

Justin St. Germain is the author of the memoir Son of a Gun, and more recently a book-length essay about Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. Elena Passarello is the author of the essay collections Let Me Clear My Throat and Animals Strike Curious Poses. The book they chose for us to read is a collection by Donald Hall, former U.S. poet laureate, called Essays After Eighty.

There is an article over on Medium that annoyed Carrie, which to be fair, Medium articles by self-professed self-help gurus often do. Cough. It's not because the guy has 250,000 followers, she swears. It's just because he's a bro-looking white guy regurgitating other people's stuff. And here's the thing. To make impact, you don't want to vomit up other people's books or thoughts. You want to be your own person. In New Hampshire literary circles of the 1970s and 1980s there was a dynamic poetry husband and wife duo of Donald Hall and Jane Kenyon. They were nothing alike in their poetry and Donald usually received a lot more kudos, but Jane? She made her moments. I'll always remember my Aunt Maxine introducing me to Jane when I was eight or something and saying, "She is a spectacular poet." She pretty much gasped it all out because she was so enthralled. I always wanted to be gasp worthy, honestly--in a good way, right? So, there's a piece in the National Book Review by Mike Pride that talks a bit about Jane (who died at just 47) where it talks about how her husband dealt with people being stupid about the difference between their poems and styles. "Hall reacted when anyone suggested that he was a poet of big ideas while his wife wrote sweet and simple poems. “Yeah,” he'd say, “her style is a glass of water – a 100-proof glass of water.” There is a tendency for us all to look away from the moments, the truths of our lives and existence and instead go for those superlative, larger than life moments, stories, celebrities, all that b.s. But here's the thing-- even Captain America has to go poo. Even bigger-than-life people whose stories are cultivated for our consumption also have those smaller moments. It's not about the 250,000 followers. It's about you making each moment, each interaction count. And sometimes to do that you have to look and see how those moments have happened to you before. Have you ever had a moment where your understanding of the world changed? An epiphany? When was the last time you felt at the top of your game? When was the last time you tried something new? When was the last time you risked your reputation for your beliefs? A lot of those moments have big emotions with them, right? And sometimes we get scared of those big emotions and when that happens? We can't take risks because we're afraid of the emotions and change that might come with those risks. Even when that change is positive, it's something different, something new and that can be super scary for a lot of us. But you've got to keep trying and dreaming and learning and being brave in order for cool things to happen. How do you do this? Think about what you really really want to happen in your life?Make sure that this is something that you morally feel cool about. Don't want to be an assassin if you're against killing.Make sure what you want feels like it gives you purpose.Put in the time. Decisions don't mean crap if you don't actually put the action steps and time into that choice. Authors make our characters all the time. It isn't enough for Captain America to go save the world. He has to take a super serum, learn how to fight and throw a shield, locate the bad guy. That goes for us, too. Jane Kenyon wrote in “Afternoon at MacDowell,” when Donald Hall had cancer (she was the actual one to die of it first), After music and poetry we walk to the car. I believe in the miracles of art, but what prodigy will keep you safe beside me, fumbling with the radio while you drive to find late innings of a Red Sox game? A poet becomes a poet by investing the time to see the things in life, the moments and twists and epiphanies and connections, that the rest of us not always see, but more than that. They take the moment and let it resonate. That's what we all need to do. We need to become the poets of our lives, making our moments by choice and action.

To make impact, you don't want to vomit up other people's books or thoughts. You want to be your own person. In New Hampshire literary circles of the 1970s and 1980s there was a dynamic poetry husband and wife duo of Donald Hall and Jane Kenyon. They were nothing alike in their poetry and Donald usually received a lot more kudos, but Jane? She made her moments. I'll always remember my Aunt Maxine introducing me to Jane when I was eight or something and saying, “She is a spectacular poet.” She pretty much gasped it all out because she was so enthralled. I always wanted to be gasp worthy, honestly–in a good way, right? So, there's a piece in the National Book Review by Mike Pride that talks a bit about Jane (who died at just 47) where it talks about how her husband dealt with people being stupid about the difference between their poems and styles. “Hall reacted when anyone suggested that he was a poet of big ideas while his wife wrote sweet and simple poems. “Yeah,” he'd say, “her style is a glass of water – a 100-proof glass of water.” There is a tendency for us all to look away from the moments, the truths of our lives and existence and instead go for those superlative, larger than life moments, stories, celebrities, all that b.s. But here's the thing– even Captain America has to go poo. Even bigger-than-life people whose stories are cultivated for our consumption also have those smaller moments. It's not about the 250,000 followers. It's about you making each moment, each interaction count. And sometimes to do that you have to look and see how those moments have happened to you before. Have you ever had a moment where your understanding of the world changed? An epiphany? When was the last time you felt at the top of your game? When was the last time you tried something new? When was the last time you risked your reputation for your beliefs? A lot of those moments have big emotions with them, right? And sometimes we get scared of those big emotions and when that happens? We can't take risks because we're afraid of the emotions and change that might come with those risks. Even when that change is positive, it's something different, something new and that can be super scary for a lot of us. But you've got to keep trying and dreaming and learning and being brave in order for cool things to happen. How do you do this? Think about what you really really want to happen in your life? Make sure that this is something that you morally feel cool about. Don't want to be an assassin if you're against killing. Make sure what you want feels like it gives you purpose. Put in the time. Decisions don't mean crap if you don't actually put the action steps and time into that choice. Authors make our characters all the time. It isn't enough for Captain America to go save the world. He has to take a super serum, learn how to fight and throw a shield, locate the bad guy. That goes for us, too. SHOUT OUT!

Maggie Smith approaches poems as a poet’s best teacher in this episode, calling poems “a conversation we have with our own minds.” Smith shares a poem by Donald Hall that shaped her early days of writing (“Gold”), a Lynn Emanuel poem that she prizes for its perfection of word choice (“Stone Soup”), and a prose poem by Jenny Boully that engages the listener through its forward momentum (“Tether”).

I've resisted reading Donald Hall for so long, probably as a misguided act of loyalty to my favourite poet, Donald's late wife Jane Kenyon. Recently I was given his book A Blue Wing Tilts At The Edge Of The Sea and finally opened it up to find another view on Hall and Kenyon's relationship through … Continue reading "Ep 103.

Happiness was part of my life for years before I took the time to understand the poet who wrote it. Now it's an even closer friend. Definitely read the non-mangled text of The Clothes Pin, then make some tea and read Donald Hall's essay on life with Jane, The Third Thing.
