Poet Pokharel says in his editorial as follows:
Enjoy this beautiful world poetry anthology and relish different tastes from poets of different cultures in their different styles and genres all placed in one.
A poet is a worshipper of Love, Beauty, and Nature. So, let sweet mellows rhyme and chime in their clime and uplift our emotions for the good of the lives on this mother earth and there shall be no dearth of our time to serve prime human cause during this very critical time!!!
I’m happy, happy be!
Happy will all you see!
It’s us! This world we make
May love be always plea.
May sleeping wits awake
For love of humans’ sake. (From the Editor’s Say)
The shops were closed and the morning windy and cold
Even more desperate was the corona’s epidemic, behold!
Even in a crazy state of mind, did not lose hope
The porter as now as urban still tries to cope ……… (From the Anthology)
Dr. Ernesto Kahan
Dr. Ernesto Kahan in his Forewords to the Anthology exclaims as follows:
Many maintain that poetry is beauty and harmony and they are right, but without love, it is empty perfume … it is only air. When beauty is married with love for the people, there is justice, truth, peace, when love is the rejection of war, racism, genocide, and hatred, poetry is culture and civilization.
We have to globalize love, poetry, bread, water, laughter… To globalize peace – this is my dream!
On this occasion, I invite people, to read this anthology with much love and interest.
