In the book, Moyers' first subject is poet Stanley Kunitz. He refers to Kunitz reading of his poem, The Lincoln Relics, at the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival. He quotes some lines that sent me looking for the whole piece. The Civil War, its monuments currently in question, also the subject of a recent inaccurate reference, always speaks to me.
This morning's experience has me vowing to begin my days with poetry, any amount, for even a taste, while a set-up for cravings, nourishes like nothing else. With poetry under our belts, we are no longer running on empty.
Here's the link, a connection to the poem and access to additional information.
