One of the most humbling things that's happened to Cameron since the publication of his first book of poetry, titled Forbearance, came when former poet laureate Ted Kooser posted one of the poems with a note saying he wished he'd written it! In this episode, Mark asks Cameron about that experience, and about the creative process behind this collection of poems. Some reading, some analysis, and a lot of storytelling make this a fascinating window into Cameron's work, especially touching on its biblical, theological, and even cosmological layers.

SynopsisOn today's date in 2008, at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, soprano Dawn Upshaw and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra gave the first performance of a new song cycle, Carlos Drummond de Andrade Stories. Its composer, Maria Schneider, conducted the premiere.Drummond was one of Brazil's greatest poets, and Schneider came to know his work through English translations by Mark Strand. “Drummond's poetry struck me as deeply Brazilian, and Brazil is a country for which I've long felt an affinity,” she said.The Minneapolis premiere was something of a homecoming for Schneider, who was born in Minnesota and studied composition at its university before heading off to the Eastman School and after graduation being hired by the great jazz orchestrator Gil Evans as his assistant. In 1992, she formed her own jazz orchestra and won a Grammy with it in 2004.Upshaw is a big fan of Schneider's work, and in 2011 they collaborated on the premiere of a second song cycle, Winter Morning Walks, based on poems of Ted Kooser."I knew that no matter what she was going to write,” Upshaw said, “it was going to be a joyful experience."Music Played in Today's ProgramMaria Schneider (b. 1960) Carlos Drummond de Andrade Stories - Dawn Upshaw, soprano; St. Paul Chamber Orchestra; Maria Schneider, conductor ArtistShare AS-0121

I was able to spend some time with my parents earlier this week. A last-minute business trip brought me down to Florida and, instead of staying near my clients in Miami, I decided to take advantage of the very reasonable rates at my parent's condo on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale. Dad even through in a free rental car and dinner at my favorite spot—Gianni's in Pompano. As I'm writing this, Mother's Day is just about a week away and I was happy I could spend two short days with my mom because we won't be able to see her on Mother's Day. She really does mean the world to me and, at 88, she's still a very happy person, even if her memory isn't what it used to be (an understatement). When I left, she had it in her head that it was Thanksgiving and that she had to make a Turkey which would have been interesting given their oven doesn't work, but I digress. On today's episode, I talk about mothers with Kim Dower, who joined me to talk about her poetry collection, “I Wore This Dress Today for You, Mom.” MEET KIM DOWER Kim has published four collections of poetry and has been Nominated for five Pushcart Prizes. Kim's work has been featured in numerous literary journals including Plume, Plough shares, Rattle, The James Dickey Review, Garrison Keillor's "The Writer's Almanac," and Ted Kooser's “American Life in Poetry.” Kim is also known as Kim from LA, a literary publicist, many of whose clients have appeared on Uncorking a Story. Her latest collection of poems has been called a rich, complex, heartbreaking, and funny anthology of poems on motherhood—being one and having one How did Kim's love of poetry as a child impact her life? What inspired her to put this collection together? How did she get started as a publicist? Listen in to find the answers to these questions as well as her advice on finding your voice as a poet. I Wore This Dress Today for You, Mom can be purchased at Amazon, Bookshop.org, and wherever books are sold.   Follow Kim on Instagram and learn more about her on her website.

However, I think it wasn't ever the case before. Likewise, anxiety and shame. It's so useful to be able to name what's coming up and to really distinguish. My marriage has helped with that, too. Thoughts on Breathing Most importantly, the kind of meditation I do tends to really focus on the breath. I usually, when I'm meditating, have a very busy mind. For instance, I count my breaths, you know, one in-breath, out-breath, one in-breath, out-breath two, and do that in sets of fours, when I'm especially caught in my mind and my thoughts. Suggested Resources Book: Poetry of Presence: An Anthology of Mindfulness Poems by Phyllis Cole-Dai Book: The Path to Kindness: Poems of Connection and Joy by James Crews and Danusha Laméris App: Headspace Bullying Story Firstly, I was never really the recipient of a lot of bullying. I think that was the result of real efforts that were not very healthy to kind of hide myself and be as invisible as possible, and to be quiet. I was already shy and introverted, but I think I made myself even quieter, and really tried to blend in, and not call attention to who I really was, or what I really loved doing. Therefore, I don't have a lot of stories about that as a kid. I will say one memory that came when you talked about bullying; it's not quite the same thing, but when I was in grad school in Nebraska, I was walking down the street, and just feeling really happy. I was really embodying who I was at that point, teaching poetry, writing poetry, not being afraid to dress a certain way. As I was walking down the street to the pharmacy, and these guys in a pickup truck that was passing by called out these terrible names, just like these anti-gay epithets and I sort of stopped for a minute, but then, didn't want to engage or anything like that. But when I got home, I realized how much that affected me. That is to say, I was more in tune with that, probably because I had been meditating and was really practicing mindfulness. But it really disturbed me. And not just that I had to experience it, but that other people, especially younger people, were probably experiencing that all over the country and the world at the very same moment.
