Quote by Helen Dunmore

Summary

This quote highlights the impact and significance of writing poetry.

Through the process of crafting poetry, writers become acutely conscious of the way words resonate orally, both when spoken aloud and as they resonate internally within the reader's mind. This practice deepens their understanding of the tone, rhythm, and musicality of language, enhancing their ability to convey meaning and evoke emotions through carefully chosen and arranged words.
