WATCH | Poetry Is Journalism

Editor Chinki Sinha says that 바카라œPoetry expands the scope of storytelling. It shows us that there is a moral power in the individual voice that must be protected. Poetry is evidence바카라”of other lives, of our times."

As a news magazine, we are expected to be reasonable바카라”to present the facts, to report what happened, and we are all these things and more. We don바카라™t exclude any truth in any medium.

A hundred pages of poetry바카라” as testimony. Our January 2024 issue 'Poetry As Evidence' was a leap of faith for a newsroom.

Why read poetry? Why stand still and tune into poetry바카라™s cadences in a madly spinning world? Because poetry, as the wise Irish poet Seamus Heaney put it, 바카라œinspires a hope that new possibility can still open up.바카라

Despite the wars and the bloodshed, despite the rise of despots and widening divides, despite fear and heartbreak, poetry showcases the human capacity to speak up, to register injustices, to break free of the shackles of 바카라œword limits and sound-bites바카라™바카라™; to celebrate love and empathy, to dream of peace.
