William WordsworthPoetry is as universal as language, and almost as ancient. It powerfully captures the strongest emotions of the human condition: exaltation, envy, love, grief, pride, bravery, and the entire spectrum of what it means to live one’s life.How can poetry help us understand the human psyche? How are we to tell good poetry from bad? Are the rules objective, or is poetry whatever talks to our heart?Our time on this earth is limited by our own perspective. We get but one life. Through poetry, we can live infinitely and vicariously through others, which serves a fundamental human requirement.Josh Dickson is an addictions counsellor, trauma therapist and positive psychologist.
