Haven't' listened yet, but this should be interesting.
Love art. It's time to get back to the museums!

So, the book has a section on poetry, and the poet Mary Oliver was mentioned.

She reads three of her poems on the "On Being" podcast, and I found myself moved.
They're very short, but profound.

Maybe have a listen?
