Why We All Need Poetry

Hi All,

I hope you are all well, and if you are in in Australia you are enjoying your long weekend due to the Queen's birthday. I know I am.

While on YouTube (Yes, I love looking at all the videos, in particular TED talks--I am sort of addicted to them), I came across this wonderful talk by Stephen Burt, who talks about why we need poetry in our lives.  In part because it helps us to understand the world around us, as well as life after death.

Have a look below, its worth the watch if you are into poetry.

Tell us what you thought in the comments below.

Till then, have a great day.
