THE THERAPEUTIC FUNCTION OF POETRY
therapy with poetry (in English: Poetry Therapy) is a well-established in America since the mid of last century, the road from us is, as always, very slow and difficult and only very recently have we begun to generate some therapeutic interventions of interest around the poesia.Eppure we all know, or at least we can guess, the value depths of the poetic word, which is its aesthetic perfection or his ability to conjure beautiful images and its correspondence with personal experiences, in any case, the poem touches us.

sometimes deeper than we care to admit. Why does this happen? Why do you use poetry in a language that is not logical and rational, metaphorical and symbolic language of the imagination, inspiration and myth. The same language of dreams.
In the dream, acting the same function that is present in poetry and in human artistic production: the symbolic function. The metaphor, which is the basis of poetic creation, is also expressed in dreams individual through surreal images and scenes that always contain symbols with deep meaning. So, given this intimate bond between dreams and poetry, you can better understand how this constitutes a profound expression of the human psyche. In addition to its literary aspect poetry always maintains an existential connotation that affects all human beings and thus becomes a means of communication cross-cultural and transpersonal. Whether you are writing for anyone who reads the words and poetic metaphors are essential keys for access to those parts of the deep and often unknown inner world containing emotions and personal resources. The poetic language fosters the imagination and to discover new associations between thoughts and events, as well as an understanding of poetic symbolism and use of metaphor facilitates an expansion of personal awareness and value of the liberating word. Herein lies the highest and deepest meaning of Poetry Therapy and to lead people with reading and writing poetry, to come into contact with the inner core that keeps the vital energy and that, Once activated, continue to produce all his life not only art, but also health and serenity.

two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by ,
and that has made all the difference.
