Hi Mr. Holmes,

If you ever get invited to Met Gala, like @ccjimmoriarty , I've found the perfect dress for you: "The Raincoat" by Robert Wun. The umbrella is INCLUDED!!

("The Raincoat" is Hand crafted with 30,000 Swarovski crystals, and took over 600 hours to construct. Designed to emulate rain droplets sparkling on a dark rainy night. )

A bit… dramatic for my taste.

Unless the umbrella comes with a special trick.

The Raincoat (2018) by Ada Limón

In Episode 148, Rachel shares an emotional poem.

Rachel: The experience of parenting has made me look back at my experience of being a child more. And I just found that such a powerful way of phrasing that; this idea that there is so much that exists within your own parent’s life when you’re a child that you know nothing about. (...)

Rachel: I feel like her approach to writing is very similar to Billy Collins in that, like, I am just telling you a story and then I am revealing to you as it revealed to me, like, what the significance of this story is. (...) She said, “Your writing wants you to widen your gaze and see the world fully. Your writing wants you to be tender and vulnerable to the world.”

40 episodes ago, Rachel brought to RPC Mother and Child by Louise Glück, which also bears the theme of motherhood. Yet, the way in which each poet handles this subject differently is fascinating. While you read Gluck’s poem, it feels as if the narrator slowly lays onto your back the crushing and suffocating weight they’re experiencing. Meanwhile, Limon’s poem invites almost the exact opposite sensation: the narrator places their experience over your shoulders as well, but this time it doesn’t feel like a heavy burden at all, instead, it feels like -you guessed it- a raincoat.

If you’d like to hear more, you can do so here: Gak Chat, from 3:58-11:19

Ada Limón - The Raincoat

When the doctor suggested surgery and a brace for all my youngest years, my parents scrambled to take me to massage therapy, deep tissue work, osteopathy, and soon my crooked spine unspooled a bit, I could breathe again, and move more in a body unclouded by pain. My mom would tell me to sing songs to her the whole forty-five minute drive to Middle Two Rock Road and forty- five minutes back from physical therapy. She’d say, even my voice sounded unfettered by my spine afterward. So I sang and sang, because I thought she liked it. I never asked her what she gave up to drive me, or how her day was before this chore. Today, at her age, I was driving myself home from yet another spine appointment, singing along to some maudlin but solid song on the radio, and I saw a mom take her raincoat off and give it to her young daughter when a storm took over the afternoon. My god, I thought, my whole life I’ve been under her raincoat thinking it was somehow a marvel that I never got wet.
