One Art by Elizabeth Bishop

Today's poem is about losing--small & big. It's a poem most people are introduced to in intro to creative writing/ poetry classes. It's a classic is what I'm trying to say. Enjoy.

You'll want to read while you listen to this one. It's a villanelle, which is a complex form involving repetition of certain lines.
