If poetry is something we bring out once a year, then we demonstrate that it is as relevant to our daily lives -- and to young people's lives -- as is, say, Vasco da Gama or Roman numerals or the Periodic Table of Elements.
If we seek out poetry, read poetry, memorize and recite poetry, accumulate our own personal anthologies of poetry, and share the poems that are meaningful to us with others then, like music, poetry becomes part of the soundtrack of our lives -- and of the lives of young people with whom we are in contact.
