Wayne Mason : part four

Why is poetry important?

The importance of poets in our society as been spoken about in great length innumerable times, mostly by other poets, and while I’d obvious-ly like to think as poets as speakers of truth, beacons of hope, and the true historians… I don’t know. I can only speak from a personal place, as for me poetry is extremely personal. From being a painfully shy child to an awkward adult trying to reconcile his place in the world, poetry has always been my preferred language.
