So I thought that was a fascinating take on the issue.
podcast-host
Because, you know, I'm a huge, huge supporter of the humanities and literature and the arts, especially in higher education.
podcast-host
And I feel like sometimes I'm not as good as I could be at articulating why it's so important.
podcast-host
It's just so obvious to me that I struggle to put into words to people who might be skeptical.
podcast-host
So here's a discussion about the humanities, the arts, poetry in particular.
podcast-host
You'll even get a couple of poetry readings along the way.
podcast-host
So let's go.

Alexander, welcome to the Mindscape Podcast.
podcast-host
Thank you for inviting me.

You know, I was thrilled to see the title of your new book is Signals Across Fast Distances, which apparently is a line from Muriel Rukeyser.
podcast-host

podcast-host

podcast-host

podcast-host

podcast-host

podcast-host
I love the idea of you telling us about her life because it's exactly the kind of life that makes me think, you know, I've tried to be a good person myself, but we all have our pros and cons, and I've never been someone who could, like,
podcast-host
pick up stakes, suddenly change my life in order to do the right thing.
podcast-host
You know, I've always been someone who, I'm an academic, I'm a professor, like, you know, sorry, I got on September 1st, I got to be teaching my class, right?
podcast-host
And I love it that there are people like that, like her, you know, who could do that and also be super successful at their day jobs.
