Magpie Ulysses : part four

Why is poetry important? 

Poetry is important because it relies on observation and constantly brings us back to our senses. It allows us the heart space of the universe and forces us to reckon with the cramped legs of a bomb shelter. Poetry is life. Poetry is not for sale. Poetry is not a commodity. Poetry is radical mindfulness. It is part of the true essence of all things that are real.
