You are poetry?

Abstract

Nobody knows exactly what poetry is. That is why the unsuccessful search of poetry’s being and nature generates resistance in time, despite its flagrant anti-pragmatism. I am aware of this unequaled failure. I have fatigued other’s approximations that could clarify something about. Due to this quest, I offer a little varied sample, for taking account of the wealth and extension of poetic phenomenon. However, it is just possible both affirming something and opposing it, without incurring into a contradiction. I approach the lyrical numen to the religious, even to the mystical. I try to integrate it into theories of knowledge, without delving into them. Finally, I write some notes about how the way I understand all these considerations can be used in a poem’s writing.
