How might we define poetry? It is a kind of language that says ___________ and says it more _________________ly than does ordinary language.
And what does it say? It primarily communicates information. TRUE or FALSE?
Novels, short stories, plays, and poems exist to bring us a sense and perception of _____________________, to widen and sharpen our contacts with ___________________.
We all have an inner need to live more deeply and fully and with greater awareness, to know the __________________________ of others, and to understand our own ____________________ better.
Literature, in other words, can be used as a __________________________ for stepping up the intensity and increasing the range of our __________________________________
Literature is not only an aid to _____________________________________ but a means of ____________________________________.
Literature, then exists to communicate significant _______________________________________
Significant because it is _______________________________________ And ______________________________________.
Literature’s function is not to tell us about _____________________________________ But to allow us imaginatively to _____________________________________ In it.
True or False: Poetry is always beautiful.
True or False: Poetry contains morals.
Poetry is a kind of ________________ language. It must be directed at the whole person, not just at your understanding. It must involve not just your intelligence, but also your _________________________________, _________________________________, and _____________________________.
Poetry achieves its extra dimensions– its greater pressure per word and its greater tension per poem– by drawing more fully on a number of _____________________________________, none of which is peculiar to poetry.
If poetry is to come alive, It must be as cunningly put together and as efficiently organized as a _________________________________.
It must be an organism, Whose every part serves a useful purpose and cooperates with every other part to preserve and express the __________________ that is within it.
