Last Saturday, Book Passage, Corte Madera, Calif., hosted Oscar- Tony- and Emmy-winning actress Ellen Burstyn (r.) in celebration of her new book, Poetry Says it Better: Poems to Help You Wake Up (HarperOne). She was joined by 101-year-old poet and actress Rayne O’Brian and Book Passage buying director Luisa Smith for a delightful, funny, and inspiring conversation about the unusual power of poetry.
