Summary/Abstract: The aim of the text is to show how to write poetry. The author teaches that to write a poem, which is a way of reaching what is hidden and constructing the world, you need to have an inspiration, an experience, an expressive vision, and the articulation of that vision. You need both poiesis and its companion: a poem. Apart from that, you also need to understand various ways of “organizing” thoughts. The author argues (illustrating this with the poems included in the text) that poetry refers to a variety of contents concealed deep in our self. Rationality, in turn, needs to be diversely and effectively cultivated.
