What is Poetry?

Poetry is... William Wordsworth “Poetry is the imaginative expression of strong feeling.” Dame Rose Macaulay “By poetry we mean the art of employing words in such a manner as to produce an illusion of the imagination, the art of doing by means of words what the painter does by means of colours.”

Poetry is... Percy Bysshe Shelley “Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the best and happiest minds.” Emily Dickinson “If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that it is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that it is poetry.”
