Towards a Real Education

Mehr zum Buch

This book of poetry takes the reader on a journey from Russia, to the Middle East, to many places beyond, shifting thoughtfully between political commentary, observations on religion and tradition, and the issue of women's rights. While some works take place in the intimate settings of local community concerts, consider the pain of losing loved ones, and present odes to figures such as Benjamin Britten, the themes shift back and forth to education, ethics, and national pride, integrating the familiar with the challenging in this intricately crafted collection exploring a multitude of social concerns. Upon reading the impassioned lines on music, alongside more personal poems, the activistic meanings reveal themselves, making an assured argument for the priorities of mankind as it navigates the modern world, and how its education systems can be improved.
