Last fall, John considered the value of poetry as a creative tool in business. In this morning's Daily News, Lloyd Grove discusses the poetry of British publisher Felix Dennis.

Carsten Ohm Andersen's "What a Wonderful Flow" celebrates the pioneer spirit, meaningful work, being in the "zone," and teamwork. When was the last time you waxed poetic about your work? Were you to pen a pome today, what would it say? Add a comment!
