What is a Grook? A grook is a short poem with an aphoristic essence. Grooks were initially created by the Danish poet Piet Hein (1905-1996), who wrote over 10,000 of them in Danish and English. A grook, known as ’gruk’ in the Danish language, is a unique literary art form. It is a condensed poetic expression that captures profound meaning in just a few lines. Grooks put pertinent new perspectives on everyday observations, presenting the reader with small instructions on the art of living. What is a Latter-day Grook? As Latter-day Saints, we have a distinctive collection of wisdom and insight exclusive to our faith. It is the revealed truth bestowed upon Latter-day prophets and apostles. This canon is unique and significant within our religious tradition, yet it 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. It is my sincere prayer that the message of these Latter-day Grooks will be inscribed onto the walls of our hearts and minds and offer us hope, strength, and encouragement in our effort to resist evil and overcome the world.
