I came across Wu Fei via her Substack Newsletter where releases new music daily straight into your inbox.
In the video linked above, she collaborates with Abigail Washburn - her website by itself is worth a few minutes of exploration, so enjoy.

On Humans and Poetry — a quote from
From the Internet
“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.
What will your verse be?”
— N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society
QUESTION
What will your verse be?
