Poetry is really about humanity's relationship to nature, the universe and the individual's most deeply felt personal realities that transcend mere politics.
Poetry affects politics by affecting people; by affecting the way they see the world, the way they live and their tolerance for the different types of lifestyles and ways of being in the world.
Poetry makes the path out of ordinary language, language that is frequently instrumental, direct, instructional, prescriptive, remunerative and practical, the language of enlistment and persuasion.

One of the terrifying aspects of an embargo is that it is often difficult to know what we, as Americans, are actually doing to the individuals in these countries.
While poetry has never been known for its efficacy in transmitting information, it is a powerful vehicle for knowledge and understanding.
Poetry creates—at the very least—glances into other lives and ways of thinking about the world, glances that are lyrical, fragmented, culturally rich, and in some cases, truer than fact.

 Cuba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Through 1957 and 1958 opposition to Batista grew, among the middle class and the students, in the Catholic Church and in the rural areas.
In the context of the Cold War, the U.S. saw the establishment of a Soviet base of influence in the Americas as intolerable and plans were approved to remove Castro from power (see The Cuban Project).
In late 1960 a trade embargo was imposed, which naturally drove Castro further towards the Soviet alliance.

 Poetry
In this meeting of North and South we find a striking commonality of purpose and tactic, a solidarity born of the fact that one's own quiet labor in the dark is the shadow of the same act committed by others in the same clandestine dark thousands of miles away.
Poetry of the political imagination is a matter of both vision and language.
In fact, perhaps the most remarkable characteristic found in the poetry of the political imagination is the quality of hopefulness, testimony to the extraordinary resilience of that human quality.

 On William Cullen Bryant
Bryant's early poetry was published in the early nineteenth century.
While he would make more money as a journalist, his output of poetry was greatly reduced thus directly reducing his placement in literary history according to critics.
Bryant received great praise for his poetry, but the critics did not give him unconditional laurels, due to the absence of a full range of poetry, such as epics, elegies, and verse drama.

 Leaving the poetry mainstream (Draft)
To dismiss mainstream poetry as naive would be wrong, but equally one would hope for more than nostalgia both from readers and writers.

Talebi was born in London to Iranian parents and lived in Iran intermittently until she was fifteen, leaving the country after the 1979 Iranian revolution (earning her the title of '79er from a fellow Iranian American friend who immigrated before then).
