Sažetak
This paper aims to present the potential for political activism within
poetry by analysing the poem “What Kind of Times are These” by Adrienne
Rich. The literary analysis demonstrates an affinity with the second-wave feminist stance of the personal as being inherently political, implying a
necessity for political poetry that addresses injustices beyond the political
macro level of the public realm. The author thus makes the case for
poetry as a means for socio-political interaction, allowing those who are
overheard in the public sphere to expose systemic injustices that seep
into the private realm.
