POWER OF POETRY IS GREATER THAN ANY STATE POWER

It does not matter how great the economic and political power of the United States is - the power of poetry is greater. This means that the American haiku poets too must respect the standards of the International P.E.N., and these standards say "All cultures are equal and all forms are universal", along with this goes the right of “poetic license”, which can not be replaced by the ideology of liberalism.
