For me, I think poetry is truth. Poetry seems to be able to say things about being human that fiction just can’t. Maybe it’s because so much thought and feeling go into the words and finding the right words. Or maybe it’s because poetry is almost always personal, even if you’re writing as a character and not yourself

  2. I think it is the concentration of poetry that makes it so powerful – no peripheral material to support the ‘story’ (like a novel).
