\n Demystify and appreciate the pleasures of poetry<\/p>\n

Sometimes it seems like there are as many definitions of poetry as there are poems. Coleridge defined poetry as \u201cthe best words in the best order.\u201d St. Augustine called it \u201cthe Devil\u2019s wine.\u201d For Shelley, poetry was \u201cthe record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.\u201d But no matter how you define it, poetry has exercised a hold upon the hearts and minds of people for more than five millennia. That\u2019s because for the attentive reader, poetry has the power to send chills shooting down the spine and lightning bolts flashing in the brain\u00a0\u2015\u00a0to throw open the doors of perception and hone our sensibilities to a scalpel\u2019s edge. <\/p>\n
