Tom Harding : part two

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

Poetry is intimate. A dialogue is created between the writer and the reader. Even the most irreverent poems are sincere in their desire to communicate. 

Poetry illuminates the world around us. It can magnify the banal and open up observations of time and the universe. Like putting your favourite coffee mug under a high powered microscope. It’s nearer to science in that respect.
