Today, many regard poetry as boring and best left to highbrows whose love of it is largely pretension. But in truth, poetry is one of the most powerfully soul-expanding art forms.

In this talk, Lisa VanDamme will reveal how deeply moving, illuminating, and personal the experience of reading a poem can be. She will explain why you may not experience the pleasure of a great poem merely by reading it. And she will teach a simple method, which is rarely taught or understood, for unlocking a poem’s meaning and value.

You will experience the power of poetry to enrich your life, and you will leave knowing how to reap this benefit again and again.
