I find that this corresponds with my own experience. I don’t really recall how I heard of Philip Larkin, for instance; it’s like his work just came to me and articulated my feelings better than I could at that time. Ditto Anne Sexton and Emily Dickinson.

Poetry fills my senses
It completes me
It answers all my emotions
And takes me where I want to be
It fills voids, connects me to others, gives me inspiration
It's a neverending wonderful journey
Of exploration, fantasy, reflection, pain, love and so much more

for me, it's sort of an addiction liken to my addiction to playing Chess everyday.
i can't pinpoint or explain why i prefer to play chess vs any other addiction that has tried to tempt me
and my theo-ry is that Poetry is the counterBalance on my Life Scale.
To connect with the emotional sentience of another and through that feel the well of our root awareness, also to witness alchemical transformation through metaphor, like molecular bonds becoming visible, see how awareness connects that which often seems unconnected.
poetry can serve as a tool for self-reflection and personal growth, providing a space for introspection and contemplation. Some people may also read poetry to gain insight into different cultures or historical periods, as poems can provide a glimpse into the social, political, and cultural issues of the time. Overall, poetry can serve many different purposes and can be a deeply rewarding and enriching experience for readers.
