This TED Talks Daily episode features poet Safiya Sinclair reciting her poem "Marigolds, a letter to wonder," which reflects on nature, family, and memory. Following the poem, host Elise Hu and TED's Helen Walters engage in a Q&A with Sinclair. The conversation explores Sinclair's writing process, her inspiration, the unexpected timing of the poem's creation, and the differences between writing poetry and a memoir. The episode also includes a sponsorship segment from PwC. A brief preview of a separate TED Radio Hour episode concludes the podcast.
