About this series
What is a Grook?
Many have tried to define what a grook essentially is. Most grooks say what many of us think, but they put pertinent new perspectives on everyday observations, presenting the reader with small instructions in the art of living.
A grook, (or 'gruk' in the Danish language) is a short aphoristic poem. Grooks were initially created by the Danish poet Piet Hein (1905–1996), who wrote over 10,000 of them in Danish and English. Grooks capture profound meaning in a few simple lines. The beauty of grooks lies not only in their brevity but also in how they embody wisdom and profound cultural truths. Through simple yet resonant language, grooks make readers deeply contemplate life's various themes and experiences.
What is a Latter-day Grook?
As Latter-day Saints, we have a distinctive collection of wisdom and insight that remains primarily unacquainted to the outside world. This literature houses profound wisdom concerning life's most significant existential questions. It addresses themes like morality, righteousness, faith, and divinity. The revealed knowledge present within our literature is deeply rooted in our theology.
It is often easier to recall essential writings when they appear in poetic form because poetry resonates with us. We enjoy reading or hearing something that reflects what is in our minds or hearts. The message of these Latter-day Grooks can be inscribed in our hearts and minds and offer us hope, strength, and encouragement in our effort to resist evil and overcome the world.
