For those who need to hear it: art really can help. You can create your own world where you can live. That’s what I found anyway. It can help you remake your world. What a gift. As for writing, you don’t even need materials, just your imagination.

There are claims that poetry doesn’t matter in crisis. Do these claims matter in crisis? As for poetry: a friend in Kiev bombshelter is translating Komunyakaa: “We weren’t there. The river ran through our bones. Small animals took refuge against our bodies; we held our breath”
