What the Hell is Poetry?

Image
We are working with poetry in modersmål English at the moment. You will be expected to read, talk about and even write poetry. It is not about if you think it is good poetry, or if you think it is fun or not. It is about learning something new about how English works. But first, what is poetry? Poetry is about feelings, emotions and imagination and does not just focus on meaning and understanding. There are always more than a few ways to understand a poem. It usually uses language and is written, but not all the time. It does not follow the same rules as other types of language, and this is why it is important to learn about it.

Traditionally 'Literature' has been defined as "Literature is a term used to describe written and sometimes spoken material. Derived from the Latin word literature meaning "writing formed with letters," literature most commonly refers to works of the creative imagination, including poetry, drama, fiction, nonfiction, and in some instances, journalism, and song." ( Esther Lombardi ). But there is another important dimension to Literature that seems almost more relevant today than the fact that literature relies upon Language. Culture is an important consideration when we consider "What is Literature?" Culture is the multidimensional system by which we understand societies (and in turn ourselves as members of a society).
