READ: Something Special #103 – Poetry for living

Every Monday on Global Comment, we share Something Special you don’t want to miss. To fit with the six core pillars of the magazine, these will alternate between the themes of watch / listen / read / see / taste / place.

It will be something different every week, but it will always be about something worth seeing, hearing or watching, or a place worth visiting or a food worth tasting.

This week, a dip into the kind of poetry that might keep us going on the roughest of days. If poetry feels inaccessible and overly dense, or irrelevant and hypothetical, I want to introduce you to two Instagram accounts that might just change your mind: Ode Poetry and Poetry Is Not A Luxury.

They are always worth a read, and sometimes they touch on just what your soul needed to hear.

Follow Ode Poetry and Poetry Is Not A Luxury on Instagram.
