By the magic of its language poetry revives buried dreams. The capacity of its words render more reality than much of what appears to live. Poetry has the power to shatter the collective hallucination that the state, industry, work, and the media maintain as if theirs was the only vision possible. Poetry has the capacity to restore the energies suffocated by this state of collective oppression. It has the power to articulate what is no longer thought and seemed no longer possible to be told.
