Why Poetry?
Speaker: Robert Grotjohn (United States of America)
Reviewer: Jeremiah Azurin
Date: March 22, 2014
Dr. Grotjohn's talk entitled "Why Poetry?" was the first GIC Talk to be held in the large multipurpose room on the first floor. “Poetry is the creative art of the word or language,” he mentions, “that is one of the places you can look for life.” Tying references from the Bible, history, and famous poets, he demonstrated that human compassion, love, beauty, and understanding, and other emotions is found in words. Rhythm in poetry, similar to the pace found in music, and metaphors are other ways one can discover meaning through words. This talk was a great opportunity to discover poetry in different contexts and consequently there was not a shortage of questions to learn about how one may answer, “why poetry?”
