When people "turn me onto" musicians, poets, journalists, novelists, my life is enriched.

With that in mind, I commend to anyone reading this post the following artists (and, in one case, journals) who/that have enriched my life.

--The New Yorker magazine
--Silvia Boorstein (Buddhist writer, who like Gary Snyder or Alan Watts, has helped westerners with the life-enhancing wisdom of the east)
--Henry David Thoreau--obvious I know--but I am once again learning from him...his ideas challenge and lead me just as much today, maybe more, than they did in the late 60's and early 70's
--Imogen Heap--first learned of her with "Let Go" from the Garden State soundtrack (when she was with the band Frou Frou)--inspiring soprano songwriter and
