What is poetry which does not save nations or people?

Czeslaw Milosz, a renowned Polish poet and Nobel laureate, grappled with the question of the role of poetry in times of political turmoil and social upheaval. In his work, Milosz often explored the power of poetry to bear witness to the suffering of individuals and nations, and to offer solace and hope in the face of oppression and injustice.
