I've sensed for a while poetry was about to have a new wave of attention and a revamp. Not because of Taylor (though, she may be the beacon that lights the way), but because of the collective themes of healing, reclamation, therapy, trauma and becoming more in touch with the internal world. That descent from mind to heart/body means we have to turn to new, more relatable content as we enter a new expression of our individual beingness. And poetry, offers it in such depth and intimacy BECAUSE you have to sit with it and be present, and not be doing other things (which fits with our growing openness to be with ourselves, coupled with the collective longing for true, deep connection).

Many warm suns are on the horizon for poetry, and I eagerly anticipate its wider contribution to our collective softening x
