Maggie Smith on the Healing Power of Poetry

Maggie Smith is one of the most popular and acclaimed American poets, with numerous poetry anthologies and a memoir to her name. Maggie is perhaps best known for Good Bones, a poem that has been read on network television, at Lincoln Center by Meryl Streep, and in a thousand memes distributed all over the internet. She sits down for an interview about mental health and the written word with Children’s Center Executive Director Matthew Butte, who has long been inspired by the power and potential of poetry.
