44 POEMS FOR YOU Poetry Playlist by Sarah Ruhl

"Like the poems in the book, these songs happen to have a named YOU in the title. They were written and named for a particular someone, and we are listening in. They're my favorite 44 songs named for people. I hope the human thumbprint that may have inspired them inspires you somehow." —Sarah Ruhl
