“I like one poet... He writes about life and hummingbirds.” An unauthorized immigrant in New York loves her library card and hopes it won’t get taken away. Also: we visit the one corner of the world where war elephants still persist; a zookeeper tries to bring out the “wild’’ in zoo animals; an actor devotes six years waiting for a part that he doesn’t get; ranchers and wolves work out their differences; and we learn what type of music dogs like best.
