Poetic Dignity in Public Discourse
Poetry has forever been a language of the heart and as Milan Kundera reminded us, ‘when the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object’. A moving medium of expression that explores the deep recesses of our being, poetry awakens us to suppressed emotions. It rouses sensitivities to a point where grief becomes the music of the soul and moments of happiness, a cherished interlude in an ordinary life’s long story of substantive nothingness.
