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.

'The Silent Woman' by Janet Malcolm

p. 63

 'Imaginative literature is produced under the pressure of an inner interrogation ... Poets and novelists and playwrights make themselves, against terrible resistances, give over what the rest of us keep safely locked within our hearts.' 

 Picador, Australia, 1994.
