Omschrijving
From the beginning of time, poems have been smuggled
out of prisons, exchanged on battlefields, passed from hand
to hand, carved on walls, written in the margins, distributed
on street corners, and carried in coat-pockets overseas.
Every culture and generation produce poetry in response
to the injustices of its time. Deeply rooted in resilience, the
enduring nature of poetry and its ability to capture the struggles
of the past can serve as a sustaining force in a sea of turmoil.
If creativity is a form of protest, then the poet is the protester.
Pablo Neruda saw the power of poets and the remarkable
potential of their words: Earth, people, and poetry are one and
the same entity tied together by mysterious subterranean passages.
When the earth blooms, the people breath freedom, the poets sing
and show the way.¹
When poems are gathered together, they form a mighty
body that is impossible to constrain, like the sea. Every time a
poem touches someone's conscience, like gathering drops, it
invites the possibility for action, forming a tempest. Thus, the
transformative potential of resistance poetry can serve as a
potent antidote against the injustices of the world.
