About this listen

In this quietly resonant episode of A Voice Like This, Phil Rowe brings together two poems that speak to the art of paying attention — to ourselves, and to others.

First, Derek Walcott’s Love After Love offers a tender invitation to reconnect with the self we’ve lost sight of.

Then, Dylan Thomas’s In My Craft or Sullen Art reflects on the solitary work of the poet — creating not for recognition, but for love, for mystery, and for the unnamed listener.

Two quiet poems. Two enduring acts of care.
