If words have the power to transform, poetry can give shape to the unspeakable. More than just written verses, it gains body, voice, and rhythm. Celebrated on the day spring arrives, World Poetry Day marks a form of language. And if there is one face and voice that brings many poems to life, it is Pedro Lamares, for whom poetry 'is a vehicle and a mirror' of reality, 'a tool for intervention and a form of activism, through culture, through art'.
