In Rebecca Goldstein's "Plato at the Googleplex," she explores the power of poetry among other disciplines like mathematics and music. She suggests that poetry has the ability to expand our consciousness and connect us to something greater, granting a sense of immortality within our finite lives. This perspective positions poetry as a vital art form that can elevate our existence.
Goldstein emphasizes that those who resonate with the profound language of poetry are among a select group of individuals capable of experiencing this deeper connection. By vibing harmoniously with language that reflects the infinite, they find a shared sense of belonging and purpose within the larger human experience.
