“Poetry can speak the truth in a language people can hear, it can heal wounds, bring us empathy and compassion and insight into how another feels, it can help us see the world in new ways.”

— Meg Weston & Kathrin Seitz

Let us remember . . .  that in the end
we go to poetry for one reason,
so that we might more fully inhabit our lives
and the world in which we live them,
and that if we more fully inhabit these things,
we might be less apt to destroy both.

–Christian Wiman
