'At the heart of every poet is a wildness to create - a braveness to put their innermost thoughts on paper. With a blank piece of paper, the poet goes into uncharted territory -  to imagine, to venture, to let words run wild. As Vincent Van Gogh said about the creative process, it is about letting go 'without limits'. (Introduction)
