Considering your position, Mademoiselle, it seems fitting for me to highlight this:
Poetry is and should be used to reflect the world around us. So as to mirror ourselves in the world that is ours, the one which we must make our own. Politics and poetics are not mutually exclusive and one should not negate the other. Rather, poetry is a weapon wielded by any talented politician, as politics remain a subject that should be touched upon by all gifted writers.
