As John Keating said in Dead Poets Society, "We don¡¯t read and write poetry because it¡¯s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race." Poetry has been a cornerstone of human expression for millennia. One of the earliest poetic texts, Hymn to the Death of Tammuz, dates back to 2500¨C3000 BCE, alongside the ancient Epic of Gilgamesh. Despite its timelessness, poetry has faced criticism, with philosophers like Plato and Aristotle questioning its value. Yet, visionaries like P.B. Shelley infused poetry with romanticism, reimagining its purpose. But in today¡¯s fast-paced, modern world¡ªwhere does poetry stand? In this episode of #ThinkAboutIt, we delve into the enduring relevance of poetry. Why do we still read and write it? How does it help us connect with our inner selves and channel our emotions? Watch as we explore the profound world of poetry and its impact on the human spirit.
