The migrant crisis affects the European territory, mainly the frontline states and the states connected to migratory routes, posing increasing difficulties in treating the asylumseekers’ demands, causing basic human rights violations, and leading to the negative representation of migrants during the last decade. The political response to the issue, inherently connected to this critical situation, is examined in the case of three European Union (EU) states, Greece, Hungary, and Italy, demonstrating how the migration crisis constitutes a complex nexus, which leads to the implementation of non-inclusive policies. The migrant crisis demonstrates political, social as well as intercultural interactions that can be expressed by creative forms of expression such as poetry, revealing these interconnected spaces and the individual or collective representations of the migrant fragile status.
