rarely consoles us; he confronts. And yet the political aspirations and content of the poetry yield a private spiritual war against oppression--a word that is so over-used it has become barren. Pinter sought to invigorate it, and he chose lucidity and clarity.However, Pinter's verse is also about process; it's Pinter acting out, as it were, the contrary facts of being inside the situation, the context of the poem, the context of the politics.
