Poetry is the most versatile of all literary forms,
allowing us the ability to say things that cannot be encompassed in prose.
The line between the truth and reality is blurry it’s as different as fact and fiction. Dante wrote poetry in a vernacular language, Wordsworth wrote in the language of the ordinary man. Whitman broke the ground in both subject matter and diction. The attempt of a great poet is to put the thoughts of a person freely, fully and truly on record, using a common language to cross the gap between self and others. These authors have mastered traditional poetry and short stories but are not subservient to it, just as democracy has ended the subservience of the individual. Comparing the works of Wendy Brady and these great authors I have observed that she is not only a master of traditional poetry but a master of untraditional and divine poetry. Enjoy what she has written; she's stands among the masters.
