		Poetry can be differentiated most of the time from prose, which is language meant to convey meaning in a more expansive and less condensed way, frequently using more complete logical or narrative structures than poetry does.
		A further complication is that prose poetry combines the characteristics of poetry with the superficial appearance of prose.
		In pre-literate societies, poetry was frequently employed as a means of recording oral history, storytelling (epic poetry), genealogy, law and other forms of expression or knowledge that modern societies might expect to be handled in prose.

	Poetry
		Poetry, the art of creating poems, also known as verse, may be defined in opposition to prose, which is language which is meant to convey meaning, with lesser emphasis on mood, word choice, and exact form of expression.
		Poetry is as old as human speech and is a compressed form of speech (and song) in an imaginative manner that at its best evokes and releases human emotions and intuition.
		Also, the vocabulary of poetry tends to be larger and more obscure than that of prose, because poets are apt to take greater liberties with the language and to retain old words and invent new words in order to express themselves within the structure of their poetry.

	Poetry
		Poetry is an art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content.
		And there is, of course, narrative poetry, not to mention dramatic poetry, both of which are used to tell stories and so resemble novels and playss.
		Poetry is also often closely identified with liturgy in these societies, as the formal nature of poetry makes it easier to remember priestly incantations or prophecies.

	Poetry - Poetry
		Poetry (ancient Greek: ποιεω (poieo) = I create) is traditionally a written art form (although there is also an ancient and modern poetry which relies mainly upon oral or pictorial representations) in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content.
		Poetry often uses condensed form to convey an emotion or idea to the reader or listener, as well as using devices such as assonance, alliteration and repetition to achieve musical or incantatory effects.
		Modernist poetry is a broad term for poetry written between 1890 and 1970 in the tradition of Modernism.

		As the poet-critic Kirpal Singh wrote in an insightful preface to essays on the poetry of the region, the issue was "whether we are prepared to grant the writer a vision which transcends his private world and becomes meaningful to all." Ultimately, the vision transcended the private world, but eluded the public as well.
		The decline of Singapore poetry in English is part of a wider phenomenon.
		In repressed societies, poetry may have a more consequential role serving as a medium of subversion that raises deep questions and whispers suppressed national longings.

		By contrast, the chief device of Biblical poetry in ancient Hebrew was parallelism, a rhetorical structure in which successive lines reflected each other in grammatical structure, sound structure, notional content, or all three; which lent itself to antiphonal or call-and-response performance.
		Poetry was employed as a means of recording oral history, storytelling (epic poetry), genealogy, and law.
		The late 20th-century rise of the singer-songwriter, Rap culture, and the increase in popularity of Slam poetry have led to a split between the academic and popular views.

		My grandmother says she doesn't understand poetry or "care for it." Yet she can be so touched by the words in a book of hymns that she will write them on the back of her checkbook.
		Although poetry takes advantage of sound and other senses through rhythm and related devices, including images and allusions, what truly differentiates poetry from other genres is that poetry's basic unit of measure is the line, which can ultimately be broken down into feet.

	What is Poetry? - Verse - Poems - Haiku - Haibun - Literature - Haryana Online - India
		Because of its nature of emphasizing linguistic form rather than using language purely for its content, poetry is notoriously difficult to translate from one language into another.
		In addition to forms of rhyme, alliteration and rhythm that structure poetry, sound plays a subtle role in even free verse poetry in creating pleasing, varied patterns and emphasizing or sometimes even illustrating semantic elements of the poem.
		The Greek's practice of singing hymns in large choruses gave rise, in the 6th century BC to dramatic verse, and to the practice of writing poetic plays for performance in their theatres.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Review \| Review: Erasure by Percival Everett
		In Erasure, his 13th novel, he takes on the commercialisation of literary culture and the trap for the publishing business of being bound by its precedents: it will publish certain kinds of books until the market for them dries up.
		Erasure is a sly work, not easily described, though what it's for and what it's against are always clear.
		Some of the best writing in Erasure is about Monk's family, particularly those moments when he recalls his father or a telling childhood scene.

	Review - Erasure by Percival Everett
		The back book jacket boost that Erasure is “ a novel of family, race, and publishing in America ” and it couldn’t be more accurate.
		A conflict arises when there is a family crisis and Ellison has to return home to his ailing mother, his “abortion doctor” sister, his “closeted homosexual” brother and the ghost of their father (an upstanding member of the fl middle class community of second generation doctors, who commits suicide seven years ago).
		Erasure is a mirror that reflects how we define the world we live in and our place in it.

	Erasure: album reviews and ratings
		With their bouncy synths, ebullient melodies and tales of lost loves and boyhood crushes, Erasure have over the years become the '90s equivalent of the Village People--a frothy band whose heavy gay subtext still eludes the hordes of screaming young fans yearning for summertime tales of high school love.
		At the core of Erasure's impressive history of chart topping hits, is the unlikely combination of Clarke's Icy synths and Bell's dramatic choir boy vocals.
		This is Erasure stripped down to the bare essentials; and almost contradictorily, it uncovers what's most essential about the band to begin with.

		We’ll look at classic period descriptions of poetry’s autonomy and also recent critiques which target that autonomy as illusory—for example, Jerome McGann’s critique of poetry’s idealizing function or Alan Liu’s account of poetry’s erasure of history by a reified concept of nature.
		We’ll also, however, focus on approaches which question poetry’s drive for autonomy, including Sarah Zimmerman’s dialogic reconceptualization of lyric and Isabel Armstrong’s notion of the double-voiced poem of the Victorians.
		Required writing will include some short treatments of poetry (in an effort to be sensitive to students’ need to gain practice at dealing with poetry) and a conference-length paper.

		This was also a time when Erasure was having a hard time looking for a label after Elektra dropped them after their last album failure.
		After 1995's expansive, experimental "Erasure" album, and its subsequent poor sales and decidedly mixed reception (even among fans), Erasure returned to their roots on 1997's "Cowboy." The emphasis here is on hooks, melodies and catchy arrangements (Andy Bell said "Cowboy" is "ultrapop")--nothing deep, nothing innovative.
		Their self-titled 1995 album saw Erasure's music stretch out like never before, unrestrained by the confinements of the typical pop-album format, with bold touches of alien sounds, lengthier compositions, and some interesting choices for guest spots throughout.

		As that conduit into a community, poetry never failed me, even if the poet reaching me was some poor wretch even more abject than myself.
		Poetry never left me stranded, and as an atheist most of my life, I presumed its mojo was a highbrow, intellectual version of what religion did for those more gullible believers in my midst—dumb bunnies to a one, the faithful seemed to me, till I became one.
		In language (poetry) I’d found a way out of myself—to my mother, then to a wider community (the poets I imagined for years), then to a poetry audience for which I wrote, then to the Lord, who (paradoxically) speaks most powerfully to me through quiet.
