Kindness: Part II

This memoir continues Kindness: Part I. I added some new reflections on bullying and rebroadcast a part in the prior episode that had too much static and other disruptive sounds. Poems by myself, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Rainer Maria Rilke.

I read my poem "Be You".

My featured image is another picture of Izzy Dix, who committed suicide in 2013 due to internet bullying.

I read from Rainer Maria Rilke's work The Book of Hours: Love Poems to God, translated by Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy (2005, Riverhead Books).

Naomi Shihab Nye's poem "Kindness" can be found at poets.org and her book Words Under the Words: Selected Poems. Copyright © 1995
