Thank you Radhika for the things you wrote about poetry. It brings to mind my late father, who loved poetry and quoted so many poems by heart, ranging from Abou Ben Adam to the Yorkshire romantics, to TS Eliot-- I think with the Sanskrit stuff "Dham, dhamyata, something." After my father's death, I have started getting into poetry. Still haven't figured it out. But maybe I will enroll for that Coursera workshop.
In terms of Cory's piece which I enjoyed, I think words are a poor substitute for the most important emotions in life, which are largely inarticulable. Talking about art, for me, is really about talking about emotions-- which is very difficult. Try explaining why you feel what you feel. Art can help you articulate that. And your loved ones will thank you for this skill :) Shoba -------------------------------------- https://shobanarayan.com/
