Poetry makes nothing happen.
WH Auden, In Memory of W.B. Yeats.

Could the poet be a keystone sub-species of Homo sapiens? The poet: an apparently useless creature, but potentially the saviour of ecosystems.
Jonathan Bate, The Song of the Earth.

I love the somewhat underwhelming statement of Auden as much as I love the extravagant hypothesis of Bates. It is somewhere between these two positions that I'd like to lead this one minute series. While keeping the larger community of living organism in focus, critical questions could arise, like: can ‘poetic’ thinking initiate alternative relations to animal populations inaccessible to other forms of thought? Maybe... Since poetry can speak and reach beyond the circumscriptions of reason.
