Evolutionary poetry

It would be logical to assume that poetry's demise has diminished its importance. It is unquestionably true to say that poetry no longer serves the same function in society as it once did and that it is not as widely read or as highly regarded as it once was. This article argues that despite its decline, poetry still maintains enormous social influence, thereby undermining claims that poetry is unimportant as a result of these facts. It will consider poets' and critics' perspectives on the value of poetry as a potent tool for communication and connection and emphasize the significance of poetry during times of social unrest, upheaval, and adversity.

The poet's engagement with global events frequently deviates from objective political reality, communicating for their audience the indescribable feelings and sentiments that they themselves were unable to explain. Because of this, after the terrorist attack in New York in 2001, individuals turned to poetry in an almost unprecedented way to find solace (Burt, 2003, p. 534). Mary Karr argued that "I probably faxed more copies of poems... in the weeks following the attack than I had in years," according to Burt (2003). It was an unprecedented occurrence: people had no idea how to cope with the severe emotional trauma caused by the attack, and many turned to poetry to express the very emotions with which they were struggling.
