[POEM] Ilya Kaminsky - We Lived Happily During the War

Hi all,

My friends are organising a lovely poetry reading evening. Do you know like this one that could be interesting to recite?

I’d like something critical of society, like We Lived Happily During the War by Ilya Kaminsky. It’s just so good! I can’t use that poem unfortunately, because I’m sure they all already know it.

Super bonus points if any of you knows a good poem that is critical about Jeff Bezos/amazon or even consumer culture in particular. lol. But probably that’s a stretch.
