Without creativity, poetry withers.
It is the essential current that flows through a poet, igniting their imaginative landscape and creating distinctive and deeply moving artistic expressions.

The "what if?" question is central to the poetic process. It's a tool for expanding reality and exploring possibilities beyond the literal.
A poet doesn't just describe a tree; they might ask: What if this tree could speak?

When it was Oviedo’s turn, he smiled shyly but remained silent. We had to drag it out of him. We prodded him and joked with him until he finally confessed.
