I love creating things, whether I'm developing a TED talk, designing a radio show, writing a book, throwing a tea cup, or cooking dinner.  My first book, Spark: How Creativity Works, is published by Harper and has just been released as an audio book.  And please check out my new website and podcast series, Pursuit of Spark! There you'll find conversations about creative approaches to the possibilities, challenges, and pleasures of everyday life.

The Wild Braid

DateThursday, February 10, 2011 at 10:16AM

Stanley Kunitz, who was our poet laureate twice in his long life, gave Studio 360 a tour of his beautiful Cape Cod garden in 2001, a few years before his death.  He is an inspiration, and his poem The Wild Braid beautifully evokes our connection to the natural world.  It is a treat to hear him read it himself, which you can do here.

If you love poetry, and gardens, you must read his book by the same name, which he wrote with his longtime assistant Genine Lentine, and has photographs of the poet in his garden by Marnie Crawford Samuelson.

I heard about this book on NPR and put it on my must read list.
It also is inspiring me to make some art - not sure yet what - that reflects the title.
