Poetry is a powerful art form that has the ability to move us emotionally, challenge our assumptions, and expand our perspectives. Through the use of language, imagery, and sound, writers of all kind are able to create works that are beautiful, meaningful, personal and haunting. Poetry has a rich history and tradition that spans cultures and time periods, and it remains relevant today as a way to connect with others and find meaning even in the modern age. Whether you are a poet or a reader of poetry, it is clear that this art form will continue to inspire and enrich many lives for generations to come. Poetry has even had profound effects unto the reestablishment of the English language by writers such as William Shakespeare. Poet and musician James Douglas Morrison once penned “As long as there are people, they can remember words and combinations of words. Nothing else can survive a holocaust, but poetry and songs.”

I couldn’t agree more Brandon! I believe we may be coming into a new renaissance of the new age of poetry. The possibility of spoken word videos and wider range of content that needs to be reconciled with the human condition may contribute to a better entertainment than tic toc videos or brainless sitcoms!
