Notes/Perspective on Poets Creed

A creed is defined as a belief, or an ideology, and the idea that Borges presents is that beliefs differ among different people, and that the significance of it can only relate to those who share a similar belief; "this creed may perhaps be useful to me, but hardly to others". Personnel memories and experiences are the foundations of Borges creed. And ths idea is revealed to Borges through language, ideas, and the passion of experience. And it was with that knowledge, he discovered the power of language and the passion that lies within. Through this discovery, Borges understood poetry. From this I was able to derive that poetry is just one medium of expression, and we can use anything from music to technical design to place our own personnel creeds that we uphold into a tangible form.

Broges also uses a metaphor between being a reader and writer to express the importance of having to gain knowledge before sharing it, which also reflects back to the necessity of experience. He lists many examples of great works of literature that he describes in detail his feelings toward it and some central ideas, in which ultimately impacted him as a reader, which is in direct correlation with himself as a writer.

Mission Statement

We provide the ideas collectively as a unit so that every voice is heard. Our thoughts are many, but add to the uniformity of the group. We all have our paths, but we go into the same direction so that people who view what we have, realize that we think outside the box, outside of the status quo and away from the failures of our peers. We are dedicated to something bigger than ourselves because we have chosen the arts as a way of growth in our life, and because we look inside of ourselves and let our inter-workings show on the outside through this form of expression. Each of us comes to the table with our own unique slice of life to the ettification of whoever is delighted to view what we have posted. Whether we gain outside acceptance or not, we are the group that will come correct and honest in our views every time without hesitation or outside influences. We are Outside the Box.
