Poetry as Spiritual Practice: Reading, Writing, and Using Poetry in Your Daily Rituals, Aspirations, and Intentions Genesis to Revelation and other practical matters[When we read and write poetry, ] it is as if a long settled cloud in our mind suddenly dissipates, and we are divine once again. from the Introduction Poetry is the language of devotion in prayer, chant, and song. Reading and writing poetry creates clarity, deepens and expands spiritual inquiry, and cultivates wisdom, compassion, self confidence, patience, and love. In author Robert McDowell's words, poetry makes you into a tuning fork of the Divine.
