The Value of Curation Expressed in a Beautiful Poem: The Curator

From www.poetryfoundation.org - March 17, 2014 10:25 AM

Robin Good's curator insight, March 12, 2014 9:09 AM



The Curator, by Miller Williams, is a poem that illustrates the keen value of the curator. 

It's a short story, that can be read in just 3 minutes, and which can provide a great metaphor to explain to others, emotionally, what the value of the curator, is all about. 



Beautiful. Inspiring. 9/10
