"Forget everything you learned."
So opens Commencement, a collection of wise and witty poetry meant to question Western knowledge. Its profundity is highlighted by its clever allusions, paradigm-shifting imagery, and enlightened and powerful voice. The strong speaker here does not set out to write poetry; the speaker sets out to change peoples' perspectives of the world, and quite possibly the world itself.
