But the results of most curbs will inevitably be the same: restrictions on the way we use energy, or a higher price of its consumption...

Literature is innovative and not just imitative.” Yet, he does not harbor grand illusions about poetry revolutionizing the world. “I don’t think poetry should be a vehicle for political or social change,” Nagy says, while acknowledging the fact that it is not necessarily a popular opinion among fellow poets.
