  Inspired by guest John Hoppenthaler's poem "Sleeping in Elizabeth Bishop's Bedroom," Words on a Wire host Daniel Chacon reflects on having once slept in the bed of the recently-deceased Poet Laureate Philip Levine.  Does this kind of experience spur any extraordinary creativity?  For Daniel, it did.
