Many thanks to all the people at TED who helped make it possible, and made it (I hope) OK to watch. (I’m used to hearing myself on audio at this point, but video? Still weirds me out.) Discussed: science fiction, death, global English, and poems by A. E. Housman, Rae Armantrout, Wallace Stevens, Terrance Hayes, Denise Riley, and John Keats.
