Forum topic: Truth and memory, art and propaganda
This beautiful article by Jens, full of ideas and political points and lovely illustrations illustrating some of the most unlovely events in human history. It all makes such an impact. But it's so well presented, and so impressive that I find it impossible to think of anything to say about it other than thank you!
(Though maybe I did wonder why Wilfred Owen escaped without mention while other War Poets crept in. But then the piece is about an Art exhibition.)
i didn't read this popular article very closely, but thought it showed nuance. i'd really really really like to see something on poetry :) !
