Poetry 'like whispering to the soul'

Poetry 'like whispering to the soul'

'In the flurry of activity, it's perhaps important for us all to remember that poetry is primarily about reading, reflecting and re-reading. In our hectic lives poetry offers us the chance to stop and think and dream. Poetry is not "like talking down the toilet". It's like whispering to the soul, something that most of us could do very much more.'
