"The world is not made of atoms but of stories," said poet Muriel Rukeyser. This means good, beautiful, pro-social stories (which are often poems!) can help overcome the most unjust, anti-social, and destructive stories. Here's a poem that does just that...Dale Biron tarafından oluşturuldu

To "know about" something is largely an intelectual endevor. It's helpful, but incomplete.
