‘Art’ and ‘humanity’ are two faces of the same coin. This tacit connection dates back to the days of cavemen who resorted to painting on the walls of their caves to communicate, inspire and survive the workings of time and oblivion. Similarly, we consider art as a creative writing, which also sketches colour of human related things. Man has always been conscious that he has to survive the calamities of time and creative writing (particularly, poetry) has become his tool in the literature. In addition, these calamities range from wars that torn humanity apart to diseases that kept shaping and reshaping men. Whether the threat came from the outside or the inside, man has always felt the urgent need to resort to write and express his feelings, worries, and hopes.
