What is the aim or goal of your writing: "Poetry is first and foremost a means of discovery of self-knowledge. It is a means of showing the relationship between the inner and outer worlds; the individual and the social context inhabited by that individual. Poetry is a stay against time, the preservation of transitory moments, an attempt to seize a brief a duration of time in order to freeze it. It is also the voice of dreams, wild desires that are unacceptable in the everyday prosaic world."
