Dana Gioia’s Speech at Stanford University

You may have already seen it, but it’s worth revisiting: last year’s commencement speech at Stanford University given by Dana Gioia , chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts and an internationally acclaimed and award-winning poet. The Wall Street Journal ran a condensed version of the speech in an article called “The Impoverishment of American Culture And the need for better art education.” Read it and let me know what you think.

Speaking of American culture, I’ll soon be featuring a culture expert, sculptors, actors, and more.
