First Draft: A Dialogue on Writing

NOTE

Poems That Moved Me

Poetry, derived from the Greek word 'poesis' meaning 'making,' signifies a crafted creation by the poet to express emotions and experiences. The collection of deeply moving poems written under severe hardships capture the essence of human suffering transformed into poignant art. Understanding the background and context of these poems can enhance the reader's appreciation and connection with the profound emotions conveyed.

The influence of upbringing and potential religious background on one's emotional expression and engagement with poetry remains a point of curiosity.
