"Through the sharing of art with other people we feel less alone." What a fantastic quote!

The poetry pharmacy by William Sieghart :)

[@eyesminyc7165]

Can someone tell me the name of the book Helena is holding?

[@camithehijabi]

I think it’s either the odyssey by Derek Walcott or Selected poems from Derek Walcott !

[@eyesminyc7165]

Not the poem but the actual red book she is reading the poems from. I tried to screenshot and zoom but can’t make up the name.
Thank you for responding.

A stage full of individuals, who love the noise of their own voice.

What perfectly putrid projection. Don't listen if you don't gravitate - supreme unenlightened Sourpuss that you seem to be.

[@nnnn3808]

How is that poetry, though? It's prose.

[@voncarlowitz3506]

Poetry is an essential niche in our lives. Meaning, for those who find it important..
That is, as long as leftists don't use it to manipulate us..

Great comment, until it became politicalised.
Important to remember ANY political doctrine has proven to use multiple forms of propaganda.
