Rebellion through Poetry!

Meet our Freedom-Fighters!

"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." T. S. Eliot
To throw oneself to the side of the oppressed is the only dignified thing to do in life." -Edwin Markham
"Shake the tree of life itself and bring down fruits unheard of." -Edwin Arlington Robinson
"As I have not worried to be born, I do not worry to die" -Frederico Garcia Lorca
"You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming." -Pablo Neruda
"Let us try for once not to be right." -Tristan Tzara
Rebellion and Art have a very close relationship.  Some people may argue that the relationship is so close it's hard to know which happens first.  The next two weeks, we read the words of six poets that inspired rebellion and decide for ourselves what is truly important in life.
