April is National Poetry Month. What Good is Poetry?

What's poetry good for? Here's this from Christian Winman, editor of Poetry magazine from 2003-2013:

 

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.
