We're going to teach people to do their jobs and make a productive economy, and poetry maybe doesn't help that much.

But to me, the poetry, the literature, the history is at the heart of the collegiate liberal arts education.
podcast-host
I'm just trying to figure out ways to –
podcast-host
get that message across in a way that seems sincere and not just cringy.
podcast-host
Couldn't agree more.
podcast-host
And maybe as the last question, it's not even a question, I will read a quote that I found in your book and then let you riff on it a little bit from Tracy D. Hall.
podcast-host
I don't know if you know the quote already, but
podcast-host
free people read freely, which I just love.
podcast-host
And it's,
podcast-host
Almost a cliche.
podcast-host
It's one of these cliches that no one really believes, right?
podcast-host
People think that, well, they should read the proper stuff, but no, they should read freely.
podcast-host
That's a real demand that it takes work to give into.

podcast-host
It means like without restraint or constraint from the outside, but it also means, but on your side, you better read lots of different kinds of things, right?
podcast-host
That's right.
podcast-host
Freely around the spectrum.
podcast-host
Exactly.
podcast-host
I hope people freely read your books and many, many others.
podcast-host
It was a great pleasure.
