The poem says, "Human voices wake us, and we drown." But I’ve made this podcast with the belief that human voices are what we need. And so, whether from a year or three thousand years ago, whether poetry or prose, whether fiction or diary or biography, here are the best things we have ever thought, written, or said. Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make, can be emailed to humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/humanvoiceswakeus/support
