The Art Box - Episode 494 - 2026 Harvest of Thought

Welcome friends, to The Art Box Podcast and our Harvest of Thought 2026.

Last year, our Harvest of Thought grew into something much bigger than we ever imagined. We gathered so many wonderful voices, poems, stories, and reflections that it took five full episodes to share them all.

Well, this year, we’re doing things a little differently.

We’re packing the entire Harvest into one very special episode.

Now, I’ll warn you it may be a little longer than your typical Art Box episode. But we think you’ll want to stay with us, because the next little while is going to be packed with some truly amazing poetry and essays from voices around the world.

Some will make you think.

Some may make you smile.

Some might tug at your heart.

And perhaps a few will cause you to stop whatever you’re doing and simply listen.

That, after all, is the wonderful thing about the spoken word. A few carefully chosen words, spoken in someone’s own voice, can travel thousands of miles and somehow feel as though they were meant just for you.

So wherever you happen to be listening today, get comfortable.

Settle in.
