| "In
its simplest idea, poetry's origination stems from magic. When
I say this, I mean that language has power; assuredly when one
reads certain poems, they cause the imagination to stir, to
see the images and feel the emotions described by the words.
Poetry was a ritual-based language, the words spoken held more
than a singular meaning, and the essence of the moment gave
it a strong sense of power. While using language to communicate,
the use of poetry was ultimately to speak the language between
the words." - Monica Richards |
