“Poetry contains almost all you need to know about life. This trinity of sound, sense and sensibility, to me gives voice to experience like no other literary art form\u2026without poetry I would have found life less comprehensible, less bearable and infinitely less enjoyable.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Josephine Hart<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

These moving sentiments were written by author and Mullingar childhood friend Josephine Hart (Lady Saatchi). I am taking the liberty of adopting them to introduce this Poetry and Practice section to our website. While the experience of the pandemic has changed our lives irrevocably, poetry and art can surely provide consolation and inspiration in this time of uncertainty.  To fully experience any poem, we must stop whatever we\u2019re doing and give it our full and gracious attention, start to finish, just as the poet did when writing it.  So, we hope that the poems we feature below – poems you choose – can give all of us a much-needed space to reflect on our lives and challenge us to take things to a deeper level. – Kevin Nugent<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
