Poetry, like all expressive arts, has the potential to move internal states into the external world, allowing us the opportunity to be witnessed in one version of the truth of our experience. Poets have an expectation that their poetry will be externally judged as valuable. However, people writing poetry and using poetry as a therapeutic tool for release and expression are not bound by the same constriction. From a therapeutic perspective, when it comes to poetry (or any expressive art), the process is more important than the product.
