​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Politics of Nobel Poetry

Portrait of Neruda

Portrait of Mistral 
​​​​​​​(Library of Congress).

“What is it that makes some diplomats excel in the fine art of poetry? Diplomacy is usually stereotyped as the fine art of wining and dining and diplomats as the lotus-eaters. The truth is that diplomacy is complex art that involves fine mixing of political acumen, cultural finesse, language abilities and conversation skills to wield the power of persuasion. Diplomacy is generally conducted in short sentences which reveal as much as much they hide. Poetry is no different.”
- Abhay K, Silk Routes
