What do you feel poetry can accomplish that other forms can’t?
There is a certain democracy in poetry that you don’t often find in other forms of expression. Most everyone has at least dabbled in poetry at some point in their life with little regard to technical know how. This is before we “learn” how to write. At this point we limit ourselves and where we can go within the narrow parameters of traditional writing. How can one discover new places that are not on any psychic map if they are following a very strict road map that dictates rhythm and form?
