...anticipation of this inspiration, an open microphone will be set up for those who wish to wax poetic about their observations or thoughts. “We need to find a way to show how our new discoveries are connecting to that sense of wonder, because if they can’t connect, they aren’t important to humanity,” Weiss says. “If we can’t connect to the world at large, what we do is only important...

...poem ends with a paradigmatic Rilke image—in observing her impediments, he suddenly perceives a flash of transcendent elegance. Mitchell writes, “and yet: as though, once it was overcome, / she would be beyond all walking, and would fly.” Snow lowers the poetic register, writing, “and yet: as if, after a crossing over, / she would be done with walking, and would fly.” Mitchell’s hypothetical “as though,” draws the “o” sound through...
