Lynne Schmidt : part three

What do you feel poetry can accomplish that other forms can’t?

Poetry gives a lot more freedom than fiction or nonfiction pieces. I like it because you spend a minute or three with a reader and you only have so many lines to connect with them and make them feel something. Novels and short stories have significantly longer. Poetry also allows for shorter commitments from the readers, which is why I think in our current distracted states of mind, poetry is picking up momentum.
