As opposed to the most popular post on this blog ‘Why people don’t like poetry’, I have compiled according to my so far done research a little, simple (yet cute, you have to admit 🙂 ) infographic about beneficial aspects of reading poetry. Many of us do like reading/writing poetry and we all know that it goes beyond pure use of certain words and language functions.
I think this is especially interesting to the newcomers to this blog and how they are not that much acquainted with the previous work done, here are also links of the specific posts leading to creation of this infographic.
How poetry can stimulate creativity?
Poetry and Creativity: crucial blocks in building leadership qualities
Can poetry help you become a better strategist?
Are you a ‘deep reader’? 3 reasons why you should nurture this habit
How important is tacit knowledge for your creativity and one simple way to get more of it
Develop your own mindfulness practice for more patience and joy at work
Diversity at workplace: how to use poetry for improving communication and intercultural differences
Raise your emotional intelligence for creative entrepreneurial leadership- part I
Raise your emotional intelligence for a creative entrepreneurial leadership – part II
Are you an introvert? Poetry can help you access your inner treasures
Please, feel free to share this info as we together can inspire more people to make poetry essential part of their lives.

I used family poetry reading to generalise one of my autistic daughter’s speech therapy. I made compilations that encompassed a range of complexities so everyone could read something and aspire to read more.
