What do you feel poetry can accomplish that other forms can’t?
There is something about poetry’s simple ability to just exist that makes it incredibly beautiful to me. It doesn’t have to tell a story. It doesn't have to reveal a perfect image. It doesn’t have to make you want to dance. It’s small, it’s precise, it’s unassuming, and yet, in its tiny package it can carry the emotional weight of a life. There are times when I could have curdled up within a single line and bedded down for the winter with enough to nourish my thoughts for months.
