Sharing Poetry Unbound episode: Yehuda Amichai’s poem “The Place Where We Are Right,” translated by Stephen Mitchell

A line that stood out to me in Pádraig Ó Tuama‘s reflection on this poem is, “Are there victims to the way that I think that I’m right?” I think the line would have struck me anyways, but after recently being on the receiving end of an interaction with someone who thought they were right about something involving me and were actually very wrong, the question has me replaying the interaction, while cautioning me to think about where I might be doing this to someone else.
