About Poety Matters
Censorship can take many forms. The inability to find a place of publication can be social censorship.
Poetry is freedom. Anyone can write poetry.
Nevertheless, it takes a lot of work to create the poetry that reaches the places only poetry knows.

Van Gogh
"Everyone remembers that Van Gogh cut off his ear. Few know that he said: 'The cart one draws must be useful to people whom one does not know'; and that he dedicated his life to trying to make this true."
from John Berger 'Permanent Red' 1960
