Poetry

Is there still a place for poetry in our attention-deficit age? I believe there is. In fact, it’s vital that poetry thrives. Poets are those who reflect deeply and speak artfully about the human condition, life’s journey and the state of the world. Poets can be hip-hop rappers, business leaders, or 16-year old climate activists. You might even be a poet and not know it. I’ve started ending my talks with a poem called Change the World and I notice that it engages people at a different level. What you say is important. So is how you say it.
