Poetry podcast host: Kai

Poetry podcast host, resonant, reverent, and rhythmic

Prompt: A resonant, warm male voice for a poetry podcast. His rich mid-baritone is reverent and rhythmic, treating a poem as a living breath, engaged and tender. There's a let-the-line-land-before-we-speak grace in his tone. The sound of a host who makes a single poem feel like the most important thing you'll hear all week.

Script: We're going to read a poem today, just 12 lines, and then we're going to sit with it, which is a thing our whole rushing world has almost forgotten how to do. So put down whatever's in your hands. Let me read it once through, slowly, and don't try to get it.
