Sounds can evoke emotionally charged memories. Scientists have found that sensory information is often coupled with emotional information, allowing sounds to acquire an emotional meaning. Using the text of Sonia Sanchez’s “Poem No. 3,” this piece explores the sounds loss, emptiness, content, and reflection. - Brittany J. Green
Poem No. 3 - Sonia Sanchez (b. 1934)
I gather up / each sound / you left behind
and stretch them / on our bed.
Each nite / I breathe you / and become high.
