GESPONSORDE
On this episode of Advances in Care , host Erin Welsh and Dr. Craig Smith, Chair of the Department of Surgery and Surgeon-in-Chief at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia discuss the highlights of Dr. Smith’s 40+ year career as a cardiac surgeon and how the culture of Columbia has been a catalyst for innovation in cardiac care. Dr. Smith describes the excitement of helping to pioneer the institution’s heart transplant program in the 1980s, when it was just one of only three hospitals in the country practicing heart transplantation. Dr. Smith also explains how a unique collaboration with Columbia’s cardiology team led to the first of several groundbreaking trials, called PARTNER (Placement of AoRTic TraNscatheteR Valve), which paved the way for a monumental treatment for aortic stenosis — the most common heart valve disease that is lethal if left untreated. During the trial, Dr. Smith worked closely with Dr. Martin B. Leon, Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Chief Innovation Officer and the Director of the Cardiovascular Data Science Center for the Division of Cardiology. Their findings elevated TAVR, or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, to eventually become the gold-standard for aortic stenosis patients at all levels of illness severity and surgical risk. Today, an experienced team of specialists at Columbia treat TAVR patients with a combination of advancements including advanced replacement valve materials, three-dimensional and ECG imaging, and a personalized approach to cardiac care. Finally, Dr. Smith shares his thoughts on new frontiers of cardiac surgery, like the challenge of repairing the mitral and tricuspid valves, and the promising application of robotic surgery for complex, high-risk operations. He reflects on life after he retires from operating, and shares his observations of how NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia have evolved in the decades since he began his residency.

×Valentine’s Day is coming and whether or not you celebrate or believe in the commercial nature of holidays, I am all for a reason to look at poetry about love. And if February makes me feel all the feels, then poetry in February is one way to escalate all of those feelings. Today, we look at three relatively modern ones. I mean within the last 20 years. We don’t need to go all the way back to Sappho or WH Auden to find the best romantic descriptions. Poetry lives and breathes as a reflection of our own times. Here are the three I read: Poem for My Love, June Jordan Filling Spice Jars as Your Wife, Kai Coggins The Hush of the Very Good, Todd Boss What are your favorites? x A…
Well, here we are again. It’s cold out, the sun may or may not be shining, the holidays have finished, you may or may not have put away all of the decorations. So now what? People tell you it’s time for arbitrary resolutions and a push towards productivity. But the winter season says it’s time to slow down, make friends with the darkness, and look inward. But you do you. And if you want to do you with others, Tania ( taniawalshyoga.com ) and I are running our Winter Workshop on January 30, 2025 and registration is open at letgoandbegin.com. We would love to see you there. And for those who come for books, here are the three I have going at the moment: Yoga and Ayurveda , David Frawley I Have Some Questions For You, Rebecca Makkai Ghost Girl, Banana , Wiz Wharton x A Share…
It’s the end of another year, folks. And it’s time to recap 2024 and all of the reading I managed to do. Here are a few of the books I highlighted for you to check out: James by Percival Everett Dracula by Bram Stoker Signal Fires by Dani Shapiro The Mighty Red by Louise Erdrich The Creative Act : A Way of Being by Rick Rubin And a big thank you for all of you who listen. This is my 50th episode. And here’s to 50 more! If you want to help out the podcast, please feel free to share, rate, and review where ever you listen. And as always, let me know what you loved this past year and what your fist book of 2025 is! x A…
Get your last minute shopping done at the bookstore. Live by the mantra: one book for you, one for me. It’s what you want for Christmas anyway. And whenever possible, shop local. Merry Merry. x A
In our Let Go and Begin workshops, Tania Walsh and I always start with the symbol of the doorway. Are you closing a door, opening a new one to a room you’ve never entered, or revisiting a dusty room that needs a good airing out? This idea came to me after reading Donald Justice’s poem “Men at 40”. I loved the metaphor of the “softly closed door”. I felt incredible empathy for these men who now looked at their life’s choices and could see that they would no longer be able to take these roads that led to frontiers of the self or make the choices that would take them away from their life as it stood in the moment of mid-life. They did not slam them, or shut them emphatically, but with a whisper of a close, maybe the door didn’t even make the click to let him know that it was fully shut. I related to their suffering to the lost lives or hopes or dreams and I always equated those dreams with artistic ones. The idea of being a road musician, or a fine arts painter, or a nomad who made his living off of acting, writing, drawing. I encourage you all to do the guided journaling questions included in this week’s episode and to, of course, follow us on Instagram to be kept apprised of our 2025 workshop dates. Read the poem here. Follow Let Go and Begin here. Drop in on one of Tania’s yoga classes here. x A…
When I am unsure of what’s to come, I turn to poetry. When I feel sad, I turn to poetry. When I feel lost, in love, overburdened, underwhelmed, dazzled or dreary, I turn to poetry. After the election, these three poems filled the void. Anne Waldman’s “Crack in the World” Maggie Smith’s “Good Bones” Nikki Grimes’ “You Still Dream” What poems have you turned to this November? Let me know in the comments! x A…
Do you have friends who are ten years older than you? What about ten years younger? Diversity is also about age. Understanding the generations that bookend yours is more than just reading the myriad memes on the subject. It requires an open hear and a generous ear. If we want to honor the classics and expand the canon, we need to broaden the audience. x A…
You are an artist. Plan your day accordingly. Micro Plan and Macro Plan. Then be ready for it all to change in a moment. Do your best and make sure to make room for your creative life. x A Here is the episode on planning your retreat!
When you select your next book, might I suggest you stray a bit from your preferred genre? Try some poetry, a thriller, historical fiction, memoir. Try something you don’t usually reach for. As the days get darker and shorter, we may find ourselves wanting the familiar, the cozy book that echoes the way we hope to spend our time. However, it may be a great time to get yourself tucked in with some tea, but let your brain go on an adventure. Here are some links to some of the books I mention, the Libby App, and my fall reading guide: James by Percival Everett Bridget Jones’ Diary, Helen Fielding The Booker Prize Shortlist The Libby App The Fall Reading Guide x A…
While we all know that looking at art makes us feel something, we get caught up in figuring out the right meaning. What are we “supposed” to see becomes more important than what we are, in fact, seeing. Make sure to spend time looking, seeking, observing, connecting to the visual. It will help you make sense of the world, no matter what your preferred medium may be. Here is the link to the Colin Davidson Show “Silent Testimony” Here is the link to Alex Gray’s The Mission of Art Here is the link to the work of art that I am fixated on at the moment x A…
We are all looking to retreat from the pressures of this election season that’s for sure. Have you made actual plans to do so? To take time away and delve into your creative self? You could finish your draft, you can dive into meditation or yoga to find your center. You could surround yourself with other artists for inspiration. You could learn a new skill or technique to add to your arsenal. Learn to Re-TREAT yourself. What would fill you up? Take time to think about it and then put it on your calendar. Here is the link to the Writer’s Refuge on Whidbey Island for any of you who are looking for a Thoreau type experience. Close enough to the town to get a good meal, but remote enough to immerse yourself in the season. x A We still have room in our October 12 workshop! You can retreat for a couple of hours on a Saturday morning! Here is the link !…
Take your time to write a real, live, gorgeous, letter today. To someone. Anyone. Get a stamp. Mail it. Then do it again. And then, when you’re ready to read some gorgeous letters, try these on for size: EB White’s Letters van Gogh’s Letters O’Keefe and Stieglitz Letters Here is a link to the Steinbeck letter I read and the Dostoevsky letter I didn’t. And if you want to be extra sweet, write a review for my wherever you listen to this podcast. x A…
Get to those bookstores, people. It is time. Time for tea and time for books. My favorite time. Let me know what you are reading. Let me know what you are sipping. Here is the link to the Fall Reading Guide. x A
Don’t let the stores fool you, you still HAVE TIME! Four more months remain until the new year. What were those resolutions you made around reading last year? Can you add something new to your fall reading? Can you play with when you read? What you are reading? How you are sharing your finds? Let me know what goals you want to reignite as we move towards 2025. And if you haven’t take a look at my Fall Reading Guide for inspiration. And as always, let me know what you are reading! I am reading Angie Kim’s Happiness Falls ! x A…
Welcome back to The Literary Sipper! I didn’t mean to take such a long summer break. But, alas, it is what it is. We had a lot of travel this summer, and like many, my creative goals took a backseat. I did plenty of reading and writing though, so we will touch on that in future episodes. As a former teacher, September feels like the new year, anyway! The goals this year are to deliver a weekly podcast for you and a bi-weekly Top 5 Sips to your inbox. This week we are talking decluttering and I highly recommend Gretchen Rubin’s book Outer Order, Inner Calm if you haven’t already gotten it! I don’t mention it in the episode, but I think it is a great read to get started on any organizing project! Talk soon! x A…
What are your creative rituals? Do you light candles, only write in the morning, pair your dance practice with your afternoon coffee? How do you let your brain know that it is time to plant the seeds of your latest venture? Do you have different rituals for exploration and other ones for polishing, editing, and the work of being an artist in the modern world: newsletters, mailing lists, wuery letters, connecting with fellow artists or your audience? This week we get into the concept of rituals and of course if you haven’t investigated Mason Currey’s books or his Substack , here is your sign to do so. x A…
A deep dive into the summer reading guide I put out a couple of weeks ago. You can listen to me give spoiler free summaries for some of them and a rationale for how I organized the rest. But what I really want are pictures of your tote bags full of books! Currently Reading: Let Us Descend, Jesmyn Ward Happy Summer everyone. x A…
The feeling that we are all shouting into the void is pervasive in art making. Why does it matter? Who is even listening? Why should I even sit down and write or draw or make something from nothing? I refer you to a one Mr. Jeff Tweedy in his wonderful book, How to Write One Song. In the very first page of the book, before he even gets to page one, chaper one. he writes: “ We have a choice — to be on the side of creation, or surrender to the powers that destroy .” I can think of no better reminder than that. You matter. Your art matters. Now get on with it. x A…
I am not sure how you define classic literature. I am not sure how I define it anymore either. However, I know there are a slew of books I was supposed to read, but time, energy, degree requirements, diversions, and fill-in-the-blank reasons, I just didn’t get to. And when you’re daily writing and work centers on books, well, we all know that there is no such thing as the bottom of that TBR pile. That’s part of the beauty of walking into a bookshop or library, the notion that you will never get to read all of it, so read something new and something old, something your friend loves and something that looks pretty on a shelf. What I am encouraging you to do in this episode is stop for a minute, look backwards, and select something that you “missed” along the way. “I'm a big believer in pairing classics with contemporary literature, so students have the opportunity to see that literature is not a cold, dead thing that happened once but instead a vibrant mode of storytelling that's been with us a long time - and will be with us, I hope, for a long time to come.” —- John Green In this moment, in this summer, in this year, does the story resonate with you? Will it remain a classic for the future? Does it live up to the hype? Let me know what you choose. And let me know what you think. x A…
When someone transforms our favorite book into a film or television show, bookworms have a LOT of opinions. Some of us refuse to watch any interpretation, some of us look forward to the visual adaptation, some of cannot wait to bash any new version that comes along. When an adaptation is done well, it can exist side by side with the book in perfect harmony separate, but the same, like a twin of sorts, like A Handmaiden’s Tale. But when done poorly, it can gut us. I am looking at you The Scarlet Letter. There are so many to talk about since so many studios look to the best seller lists to glean their ideas when they are not making superhero movies based on comic books. I have barely touched the surface. What are your favorites? What are the ones that are so bad, you still have secondhand embarrassment? And what book do you wish they would turn into a movie? I want to know. I have a series of long flights coming up and need a playlist! x A…
In honor of National Library Week (last week anyway!) I wanted to talk about one of my happy places. Do you have your library card? Do you seek out the large city libraries on your vacations? Do you use the library for a quiet space, inspiration, research? Let me know. And if you haven’t read Susan Orlean’s The Library Book , I highly recommend it. It remains one of my all-time favorites. I suggest you head over to your library today and bring home a big old stack. x A…
Hi Friends, This is the eternal question: What do I do with all of my old journals, scraps of ideas, notebooks, and napkins? What if they hold the key to my best work and I am too blind, or too lazy to go through them all to find it? Well, this week we talk about: Intention. And also, how are you using them now? We also talk about the disappearing ephemera of writers, in general. I mention “The Booksellers” a great documentary about the rare book deals in NYC. It was produced by Parker Posey, a Gen-X woman’s ride or die. I highly recommend. In the meantime, take out one of those journals, find a particularly embarrassing page, and have compassion for that person trying to make sense of the world. x A…
Hi Friends, What creative pursuit can offer you a second chance at being a beginner? Here are a couple of great links to check out about some of the people I mention on the podcast this week: An interview with Tom Waits about Songwriting. An interview with David Byrne about Art. Baryshnikov on Theater. Enjoy and let me know what your pairings are. x A…
If you didn’t receive this book as a gift this year, go get it for yourself at your local independent. It’s worth it. Here is a link if you need it. If you did receive it as a gift, lucky you. You are loved. Read it and start practicing. If you need a gift for someone, this is a good one . But the greatest gift you can give to yourself and to others is the time and space to be creative. x A…
Hi All, I know it’s been a while. But here I am, ready to encourage you, gently, always gently: Begin Again . Did you download this list at the beginning of the year and promptly forget about it? Did the new sunny days inspire something in you to pull it out? Great. Now pick one. Don’t worry about which one. Don’t overthink it. Just start somewhere. Any of them should be the momentum you need to get going on this creative journey. Here is the link to the list in case you misplaced it. And here are some words of encouragement from our dear friend Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.” Keep growing, friends. x A…
I certainly hope your 2024 reading list is off to a great start! All the books I mention are listed on my Substack. Here is the link in case you missed it! Book List 2023 Also, I am still currently reading The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese and The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. What are you reading? What was your first book of 2024? x A…
Happy New Year, friends. As we head into 2024, I wanted to start with the most requested topic of 2023 and then ease into my 2023 Book List next week. So enjoy this throwback picture to warm weather and when my son was so into The Stand that he forgot to take his mask off after a doctor’s appointment. Also, in case you wanted to know, my younger son was playing in a baseball game at the moment my husband took the photo, an important game as I remember, but I tend to watch when he is playing and not so much when he’s not. And definitely not in between innings when the goofing off is at its peak. Here are links to some of the books and things I mention in this episode: Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Being The Hate You Give, Angie Thomas The Midnight Library, Matt Haig Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien The Nix, Nathan Hill The Catcher in the Rye, JD Salinger Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi A great article on Ethan Hawke’s Hamlet Ready Player One, Ernest Cline Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, Gabrielle Zevin Letters to a Young Athlete, Chris Bosh Giannis: The Improbable Rise of an NBA Champion Neil Gaiman’s Instagram Stephen King’s Instagram By the way, the younger one won his game, and my older son loved The Stand and is now reading Billy Summers . He told me yesterday that I would love it too. x A…
Well, Tis the Season to be shopping. Fa la la la la. For some of the people on your list, books make the perfect gift. For those who listen, it is also an excuse to go to the bookstore.

You know, the one you got for yourself. x A…
In this week’s episode, we discuss the three books I’m thankful for (right now, anyway). Like most lists, they are subject to change with the season, the mood, and the moment you ask me to remember them. So here are a few links to the books I mention, in case you are in need of some new books for the rest of the year to finish out 2023 with a bang. Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll : This edition from the Rifle Paper Co. is particularly stunning. Tender is the Night , F. Scott Fitzgerald, an honorable mention. 1001 Arabian Nights , Children’s Illustrated Version Walrus and the Carpenter in Seattle Daily Rituals: Women at Work , Mason Currey. He is also on Substack as Subtle Maneuvers.

This is a first edition copy. Of course, you can find a reprint. The Book of Nightmares, Galway Kinnell Wait, Galway Kinnell Keep Writing. x A…
As artists, we long to be in the flow state for as long as possible, but sometimes we can feel like we’re wandering among the trees aimlessly. Yes, it’s beautiful, covered in snow, crunchy branches under our feet, songbirds in our ears, but we have to find the way out at some point. For many artists, goal setting can be painful. This week’s episode talks about the how and why goal setting is important and hard. I don’t have a lot of links this week, so here are some notable books on creating and of course the link to my website if you find yourself in need of a coach. Keep doing good work. x. A My Coaching Website The Artists Way, Julia Cameron Fearless Creating, Eric Maisel Daily Rituals, Mason Currey Writing Down the Bones, Natalie Goldberg Share Your Work , Austin Kleon…
