"It’d be slightly ridiculous to say that the serious poets of the last century were saved by their writing—in many cases they were imprisoned, tortured, and exiled for it; however, poetry enables us to constructively imagine and inhabit possibilities, to put aside answers and listen. In our culture of desensitization, it’s almost radical to feel."
