What do you think? Is it poetry?

There are conflicting opinions on what makes poetry poetry. Lyrical poetry…is it really poetry? For example, is Bob Dylan a poet? Once, after attending a Dylan concert in Berkeley with Allen Ginsberg and Ken Kesey, Lawrence Ferlinghetti was embittered, ranting about a stringy kid with an electric guitar drawing a bigger audience than a major poet such as himself. In an interview with Robert Shelton, Ferlinghetti acknowledged that Dylan has a poet’s imagination, but added, “I still think he needs that guitar.”

Perhaps the characteristic most central to the definition of poetry is its unwillingness to be defined, labeled, or nailed down. Poetry is the chiseled marble of language; it’s a paint-spattered canvas – but the poet uses words instead of paint, and the canvas is you. If you really want to know what poetry is, read it. Don’t shackle poetry with definitions.

There are as many definitions of poetry as there are poets. Wordsworth defined poetry as “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings;” Emily Dickinson said, “If I read a book and it makes my body so cold no fire ever can warm me, I know that is poetry;” and Dylan Thomas defined poetry this way: “Poetry is what makes me laugh or cry or yawn, what makes my toenails twinkle, what makes me want to do this or that or nothing.” ♥

Review: Slow Club @ Fac251, Manchester
Yes, the world might be gripped by a second financial crisis, oil spills threatening environmental disaster, and the death of Arnold from Diff’rent Strokes. It’s a big scary place, so what you do if you’re a young, hopeless romantic?
