En defensa de la poesia: pàgina web

La poesia és un genère literari que es veu sotmès a una paradoxa: per un costat, és ben valorat ocialment, ja que es considera que només la poden escriure uns "escollits" i també la poden llegir només els "iniciats". Però aquesta concepció genera una actitud en contra del mateix gènere: que ls que no es consideren "escollits" ni "iniciats" fàcilment se n'allunyen, de vegades de forma definitiva. Alguns del tòpics que des de sempre acompanyen la poesia poden ajudar a entendre questa actitud
