Lex Poetica™
(noun)
Pronunciation: leks poh-ET-ih-kah
Definition:
Lex Poetica™ means “the law of poetry.” It describes the idea that art and language can uphold justice the same way laws do. The phrase represents a movement where words are used not just for beauty, but for truth - turning poetry into a tool for change, healing, and freedom.
It’s when a poem reads like a declaration of rights, or when an artist uses verse to speak against injustice. Lex Poetica™ shows that laws and poems share the same heartbeat: both seek to express what is fair, human, and eternal.
