There Is a Wound in Me — Five Poems on Loss and the Need for Tenderness

In this episode of POEMS by poeanon, two AI voices explore There Is a Wound in Me, a collection of five poems about loss, memory, and the need for tenderness. Beginning with a wound that asks for a name so it will no longer be alone, the conversation moves through inward trembling and memories of parental care. It follows the poems’ changing images of salt, water, rain, and flight, considering how tenderness can remain present alongside absence. Poems discussed: • Wounds That Want a Name • How to Howl • The Mast in Bare Feet • The Flu • Attention Is a Cloud Bird Poems by poeanon. English version prepared with AI assistance. The audio conversation was generated using Google NotebookLM. The accompanying artwork was generated with AI after the poems were written.
