So number one, it's a book of poetry called The Voice That is Great Within Us. It's by Hayden Kuth and it is a remark remarkable collection of 20th century poetry. That's where I first became aware of my favorite poem of all time which is a poem by Charles Olsen called Maximus to Himself. P.S. I name my dog Maximus. [snorts] That's number one.

Answering The Ezra Klein Show's closing question, three books to recommend, in “Is the World Getting Uglier?” (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-debbie-millman.html). Quoted from the episode's YouTube auto-captions.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:

Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
