Muriel Rukeyser Quote

If there were no poetry on any day in the world, poetry would be invented that day. For there would be an intolerable hunger.


The Life of Poetry (1949)


If there were no poetry on any day in the world, poetry would be invented that day. For there would be an intolerable hunger.

If there were no poetry on any day in the world, poetry would be invented that day. For there would be an intolerable hunger.

If there were no poetry on any day in the world, poetry would be invented that day. For there would be an intolerable hunger.

If there were no poetry on any day in the world, poetry would be invented that day. For there would be an intolerable hunger.
