| description | Introduction: In an article on the position of the poet in society, Kenneth Rexroth argued that Plato's disfavour of poets was not early but late since criticism and rejection of poets had been going on since the time of ancient Egypt and Babylon.

nationhood and justice. The two poets are Daniel Abdal Hayy
Moore, an Anglo-American and Wong Phui Nam, a Chinese Malaysian. Both are Muslims. |
