The Role of Myth and Poetry in Our Lives

Myth and poetry play a crucial role in our lives by offering a unique perspective on the world. They allow us to see familiar things from a different angle, defamiliarizing them and making them strange and beautiful once again. Through poetry, we can break free from our habitual ways of perceiving and open ourselves to new possibilities. Good poetry has the power to shock us out of our complacency and awaken us to the beauty and strangeness of the world around us. It can remind us of the magic and mystery that exists in everyday life. By engaging with myth and poetry, we can cultivate a deeper appreciation for the world and its hidden presence.
