And when they call themselves the good and the just, do not forget that they would be pharisees, if only they had-power.

Friedrich Nietzsche

A tough life needs a tough language – and that is what poetry is. That is what literature offers – a language powerful enough to say how it is. It isn’t a hiding place. It is a finding place.
