What do you feel poetry can accomplish that other forms can’t?
Poetry does not sacrifice form to produce meaning. By which I mean, a poem can be beautiful and nothing else and still be a poem – and it is from that beauty that we then derive meaning. In poetry the meaning can be beauty, without feeling as though something is missing or lacking. I don’t find that to be the case often, if at all, with other forms.
