About Poetry
- Poetry of course relates to poems, often but not exclusively written in rhymes. Poetry is also used within song lyrics and the like.
- Moreover, poetry tends to use language in other and different ways than everyday language, in a way trying to express and convey more in terms of thoughts, feelings, etc.
- It goes without saying that there are numerous poetic expressions and styles, dating back to ancient times, from great romantic poets like Lord Byron to modern day rock poets like Leonard Cohen.
- Keynote speakers on poetry may look at poems and poetry as literary genre or perhaps study in depth and detail the work of specific periods or writers. Perhaps the keynote speaker is him- or herself a poet.
