Another eye!
Are dead poets welcome in Triclops?
(Or are we a different type of society).

to start with I was going to say no - but on reflection to stimulate our creativity and thus our ability to innovate we often turn to the arts for inspiration or develop our creativity. Art is not afraid of failure, and it doesn't not confine it self to strict rules

In 1995 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, “for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles (and the living past)". To dig deep into self and place, to uncover what others have not, to gently illuminate it differently and animate it with true purpose so that it becomes clear to the masses as the obvious truth, enriching and empowering those it touches. Is not poetry innovation, and innovation poetry?
