Poetry

Study poetry for two reasons (though there are more): 1) that your soul would be strengthened through the reading of others' emotional expressions; and 2) that you would learn how to more sharply, creatively, and helpfully give voice to your own soul by reading and hearing the voices of other poets. Poetry is medicine; if you would be well read and write it. ('I'm no good' is the poorest of all reasons not to do it.)
