   May 10, 2017 · Since poetry is focused on relaying experience in a highly salient way, there is great potential for it to be utilized as a means to build empathy and bridge gaps of understanding between people who come from differing backgrounds. In this way poetry can be a vehicle for messages of social justice.

   Dec 28, 2006 · James Merrill's poetry has a social function in the sense of "social event": it tries to produce—often, in the face of mortality, or dejection, or bodily ills—a sense that the poet has friends who get his jokes, who share his sense of things, who respond in kind.

   Jan 13, 2018 · Poetry is far from being an escapist type of activity, removed from society and reduced to a personal form of expression. On the contrary, poetic expressions are not only social endeavors, they also create something with the potential to question society and engage people in political action.

   Jan 28, 2021 · We often think we are not a poetic society, yet everyone wants songs and poems at funerals. People want the intensity of meaning that poetry offers. It is important people seek out poetry in their moments of crisis.

   Should we rethink the role of poetry in society?

   • However, that doesn’t mean questioning the current role of poetry in society is a pointless endeavor. At a time when only 4 percent of all arts funding in America comes from public sources, reevaluating the role of poetry (and all arts, truly) in society at large is a very relevant project both for newcomers and seasoned veterans alike.

   How does poetry contribute to society?

   • Moreover, they not only build on a network of people and ideas but also contribute to and have the potential to transform this network. Creativity is social in nature and contributes to the fabric of society (Glăveanu, 2015). Poetry makes no exception in this regard.

   How can we speak usefully about the social function of poetry?

   • To speak usefully about the social function of poetry, we need to decide what—or whose—poetry we intend. People who talk about poetry's social utility often concentrate on content. They think, perhaps, that poetry Tells the Truth, or Provides Solace. These notions make me queasy, and are treason to poetry.

   Do good poems have a social function?

   • If we use any more conventional, more restrictive senses for "social"—for example, "having to do with a particular society taken as a whole," or even "having to do with people in large groups"—then there is no social function which all good poems have. How about a moratorium on using plumbers and other "common" people as mythical readers of poetry?
