Saba Pakdel : part three

What do you feel poetry can accomplish that the other forms cannot?

I don’t think there is an exclusivity about the genre and that is the very reason poetry is accessible to different writes with a nonlocalized, non-hegemonic, and flexible quality. You can express your ideas in an interdisciplinary manner which complicates the relations and blurs the distinctions between genres and schools / boundaries of thought. The point is what one particular piece of poetry accomplishes cannot even be replicated by another poet let alone another genre. So, I think it is not about the medium as it is about the form that makes one accomplishment different from the other.
