Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, interviews Margaret Perry on the importance of poetry (and wine!) and how to read it.
Margaret Perry is a sales manager for a Virginia based, sustainability focused Fine Wine importer and distributor. Prior to that she managed a Michelin rated restaurant in Washington, DC. Before her time in the Hospitality Industry, she worked in higher education nonprofits, studied literature and philosophy, and wrote about children's literature for magazines such as First Things and St. Austin Review. Born and raised in Northern California, she has lived in Virginia for 13 years, making her basically a native. In her free time, she reads an absurd number of British Mysteries, gardens, and hikes the Shenandoah.
