I think I’ve always been undecided in poetry. I either like it or dislike it. A poem should bring a kind of a chill. I believe that poetry is a way of being in the world that wasn’t made for us like Jennifer Bartlett said. According to the journalist I just mentioned “poetry is the most organic art form; it does not require money or physical labor. A poem doesn’t need to follow any particular grammar rules; it is the record of one’s own experience of the singular mind and/or body, a singular voice. For many of us, it is also a way of “being in the world,” a world that in many ways was not made for us and actively resists our participation. Through poetry, we are able to remake and reinvent that world.” And as you can see I think I have more reasons to like it, than dislike it.
