S01E06: Narrative Poetry

For S01E06 of GorPod, we discuss narrative poetry. We have seen that poetry can be used to very powerfully speak about many deep and important topics; but thus far we have seen only short texts about single topics, presented in very figurative and illustrative ways. What about just narrating things? The ancients constantly used poetry in this way; anything that was worth saying was worth saying in verse. But this has been mostly lost in our own time. Should it have been? What are the benefits of writing in verse as opposed to prose, if there are any? Our Goretti poem this episode is <a href="http://gorettipub.org/the_question.html">The Question, a narrative poem about death, various perspectives on it, and how Christians should see it. Praise be to Christ the King!
