Poetry gets to the issues more than anything I know. I have never been in a church environment where there is the same level of truthful speech about the way things are. It's not that church isn't truthful. It's just that poetry is a different kind of speech. Many of the poets remind me of that sense you get of the prophets like Jeremiah who describes the word of God like a fire in his bones that he has to get out.
(from I can't remember, I just put it in the notes of my iphone)
