The new On Being podcast features Joanna Macy and Anita Barrows, celebrating their new translation of Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet. It’s a rare opportunity to spend a bit of extended time with Joanna, and a joy to hear her explore familiar themes with her treasured friend Anita. They reflect together on solitude and relationship, gratitude and grief, and falling in love with the world all over again, even as we mourn so much that we are losing. Their conversation is a gift for this moment.
