National Poetry Month was launched by the Academy of American Poets in April 1996, National Poetry Month reminds the public that poets have an integral role to play in our culture and that poetry matters. Candid Leadership's latest guest is going to discuss a topic that will definitely expand your mind.   Amelia Cohen-Levy is a communications specialist at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. She’s also served as a technical writer, translating, in her words, “geek into English”, and as an editor of analytic intelligence products. Amelia explains that the perfect poetic form for intelligence writing is the sonnet. It combines a finite format, since it’s only 14 lines, with room to explore a specific idea and then turn that idea around, otherwise known as the “volta.” Ultimately, poetry gives analysts a way to combine multiple trains of thought into one succinct piece of writing.
