I've always wondered what it was - IS - about poetry that is comforting, even though it doesn't actually answer any of the questions or repair any of the heartache...
Here's what writer Russell Leigh Sharman offers up:
"One moment, one event crystallized, reduced and offered up in words so you can hold it in your hands, turn it over, feel its weight. Poetry doesn't solve anything. It just makes the questions deeper, makes the puzzle into a pattern that might not have a solution but at least you can see it better. See it clearer."
