This is a book that would be great fun to share with a class of enthusiastic children, or as a family at bedtime.

This level of trust and emotional connectedness to a writer or work can be risky, though.
Sin, similarly treads the waters of female emotion with confidence. Sin describes himself as a feminist. A cynic might suggest that a particularly vulnerable female audience is being exploited by male writers using emotional manipulation and tropes to appeal to, and profit from, shared female experiences of which they have no first hand knowledge.
My first offering to the spontaneous brainstorm between myself and my wordsmith mother was solapoeia a nod to a psychoterratic neologism coined by my environmental philosopher dad Glenn Albrecht , which references the solace noun 1. We then threw out the mouthful empathopoeia , which self-evidently comments on the empathetic shared experience in writing, reading and redistributing the poems.
Another option, egopoeia , centres the narcissistic 21st century self as the focus of the works and recognises the desire of the reader to have the poem help them directly in some way, rather than addressing the wider world. The last, which we were happy to settle on — at least for a while — is the term therapoeia , which places the healing aspect of these works at the forefront. They want to be uplifted, healed and restored by just a few well chosen free words.
In a turbulent political and social climate, readymade self-love and acceptance is being offered. But we can all agree that this surge in the readership of poetry — artless or no — means big things for the form, and promises a generation of new poets and readers who might one day want to swim further out into the deeper dark ocean of poetry.
