Understanding this quote
The quote says poetry offers a different way to address subjects that concern everyone. Journalists, pundits, and academics each provide their own kinds of discussion, but poetry adds another voice and approach. Its value here is not that it replaces those forms, but that it gives important shared concerns an alternative way to be expressed and considered.
