POETRY
Here the article talks about poetry, through which we understand the functions of language. The author has great passion for literature, and his literature textbook Literature, Sound, and Sense “has taught hundreds of thousands, perhaps by now several millions of high school, junior college and college students how to read works of literature with appreciation, perception and perspicacity.”[1] In this article, he shows us the importance of poetry. He makes the abstract features of literature palpable to the general public.
