The Discomfort of Poetry
Part 2
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

And yet, because we're adults, and humans, we feel the need to try and express it * the agony and the ecstasy * because we've been taught to put things into words, for release, sometimes to gain something (comfort in our grief), and sometimes just for the joy of expression. It is our way of howling at the moon, and when we howl our pack can find us. It is one of our positive, intelligent choices for dealing with equilibrium.

Let's say the man's wife has just left him. He's 60 years old, married late in life, has no children. He is now devastated, perhaps feeling deeply for only the second time in his life, the first being when he found her.

How will he cope? What is he coping with? He is not coping with the fact that she left, he's coping with his extreme physiological, psychological, and spiritual reaction to her leaving. Separation from a loved one is a physiological event wreaking havoc. The blood pressure rises, the heart pounds, the solar plexus collapses, we forget to breathe, our gut protests, in diarrhea or constipation, we can't sleep or sleep all day, our immune system goes out of whack and we get sick, and then sicker, and then sick again.

And all emotions are onions; he is also coping with anger, with his punctured ego, guilt at what he might or might not have done, and fear of being alone.

What does he do "with" these nigh-intolerable feelings? How does he make them go away? On the negative said, he could crawl into a bottle, deadening these feelings, or go pick a fight in a bar, or kill himself. In the neutral territory he could temporarily anesthetize himself with prescription medication, therapy, or a transitional affair. In the positive area, there are exercise, meditation, music, and ... writing poetry.

Music and poetry are favorites because they are expressing emotion in symbolic language.

When we read, "Being with you or without you is how I measure time," we have an ah-ha feeling (which is emotional, not mental) "Oh, wow, that's exactly right," we think. "That's how it was with me."

America's future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what he is taught; hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live.
