Dana Gioia

Yeah.

Um, there's a great poetry scholar, um, Dana Gioia, and he has this wonderful essay freely available online called Poetry As Enchantment, and in it he shows that it is our most primal, elemental human art, that poetry precedes all other art forms, and studies show that poetry and music light up the same areas of the brain.

We're kind of naturally, um, ac- like we're naturally designed for it, and so the world needs more poets and more poetry.

So yeah, I would, um, encourage people to watch Eurovision, you know, expand your mind, and read, read a poem.
