"Me and poetry are one, i cant jump out of my own skin" Poet Asa talks about his journey as a poet and how poetry is a state of mind. He talks about the purpose of poetry and art as a whole, which is enlightenment and being agents of change. Poet Asa mentions how even as he exists in society, he does not allow society to dictate the terms, how he does not conform to society's expectation but rather exists to change it..
