Why is Poetry so important and essential to a culture? There are various factors, but the most apparent one is that poetry is a way to see a culture’s history and people through the lens of regular citizens who live the everyday life. Poetry can capture many things in a culture such as a people’s struggle, love, relationships, their dismiss of life, or their awe of nature. The list is endless. In addition, poetry provides a way for ALL people to engage in the current political climate of their country or locality, thus providing great literature for all those that may want to understand a particular time and place and/or government and people. It becomes a glimpse into the past and also the potential future.
