'Immersing yourself in the written word is a time-honored way to slow down. I try to read a bit of poetry everyday. In order to understand what is being said you simply cannot read the lyrical language quickly. You must savor and enjoy every single word. So it can be very effective at putting your life on pause. Whereas newspaper writing is about utility, poetry is about beauty, and we all need to feed our souls with delightful materials...'
-Tom Hodgkinson, The Idler
