Poetry has, through time, been tainted by patriarchy and turned into a writing style, referred to as a genre of literature, pigeonholed and intellectualised for the death of creativity, but it is so much more than that. The word poetry comes from the Greek word poesis, which means to create, and in a broader sense to compose. But if we dig even deeper we arrive at the Sanskrit root pu which means to generate or procreate. Poetry as the continuation of life in a world that wants to kill us.

Poetry is a connector in a hyper-individualistic society, it sits in an interior and dark place where things are born, and it is a revolution from oppression.
