Story by Dannielle Beardsley If you’re like most people these days, if asked what the best poetry books are out there right now, or were asked for a recommendation, you’d have absolutely no clue what to say. But you used to. Think about it. “What do we read to our children every night?” asked Derek Sheffield, Poetry Editor of Terrain.org (and author of the collection of poetry ). Right. Nursery rhymes. Which is just another name for poetry for kids. And maybe you don’t think of poetry as important in our era, given the news cycle blur, social platforms aplenty, our personal daily grinds, and the explosion of media of all types. But how do humans mark our major moments? “We still turn to poetry at the moments of greatest personal and cultural significance,” said Sheffield. We rely on the carefully crafted word to make sense of life. Now, to be fair, he’s a guy who has spent a lifetime with the art form, while most of us tend not to read much poetry after those nursery rhyme years. If you haven’t picked up a book of poetry since 10th grade English, now is a good time to give it another go. Here are the best poetry books that will have you feeling intellectual, sophisticated, and thinking about more than things like what you’re going to have for dinner.

The Poetic Pacific by Ricky Mato Paisip Narewec is a remarkable book. This collection of poems takes place in a unique world known as the World of the Minds (WOM). Unlike our physical reality, WOM exists solely within the realm of our thoughts and ideas. It is a mental world separate from the Real Physical World (RPW), where we interact through our senses. The RPW is the part of us that operates based on our sensory experiences and how we perceive the world around us. In contrast, the WOM is like the World of our Brains, existing exclusively within our minds. The WOM serves as a space where our thoughts and ideas evolve and are analyzed and interpreted. Through these poems, the poet explores the duality of human existence, delving into the interplay between the physical and mental realms and the significance of our thoughts and ideas in shaping our understanding of the world. Every poem in this collection starts with a brief summary that highlights its role within the World of the Minds (WOM), along with diverse dedications and the valuable lessons the poet has gained on their profound journey. The poems vary in nature, with some being straightforward and others being deeply contemplative and leaving a lasting impression. The illustrations are also a fun addition. More info and full review

She sat for hours in her garden observing flowers, then filled her blank canvases with memories of what she observed. Because all the flowers in her garden were unique, so were her brushstrokes.

I am trying out the latest AI phenom chatGPT by Open AI and I asked it why art is important. Sharing the answer it gave back, which I'm certain nobody can argue is wrong. Art is important for a variety of reasons, both practical and emotional. Here are some of the key reasons why art matters: Self-expression: Art allows individuals to express themselves in ways that are not always possible through language or other means of communication. It can serve as a form of therapy, allowing people to work through emotions and experiences that may be difficult to express otherwise. Cultural preservation: Art reflects the values, beliefs, and experiences of a culture or society, and helps to preserve and pass on those traditions to future generations. Social commentary: Art has often been used as a means of social commentary, allowing artists to comment on political, social, and cultural issues of their time. Aesthetic appreciation: Art is often appreciated for its beauty, and can inspire feelings of awe and wonder in those who view it. Innovation and creativity: Art can push the boundaries of what is possible, and inspire innovation and creativity in other fields. Overall, art is an important part of human culture and has the ability to enrich our lives in a multitude of ways. Next, I asked if there was a graphic representation of itself, and it wrote back... As an AI language model, ChatGPT doesn't have a single representative graphic, but the OpenAI logo is often used to represent the technology that powers ChatGPT. The OpenAI logo features an infinity symbol intertwined with a stylized letter "O" which represents the idea of endless possibilities and the continuous learning and improvement of AI technology.
