Thank Ian for this bit of awesomeness.

This is what stood out for me:
I am celebrating this news because Obama seems to fully grasp the idea that words and language truly matter. By restoring poetry as a central feature of his inauguration, Obama gives hope to those of us who believe that art is always important and necessary, especially during hard times. Artistic expression is as necessary and as vital as bread and water.
It seems like I wasn't the only one missing poetry :p
