Poetry
Evolve Paperback by Vijaya Gowrisankar
“The dreams return strong when I feel like I belong, the dreams return strong when shadows seem long” … I always have got fascinated by the word “Dream”. Vijaya has so vividly captured the true essence of this word because I think, like everyone, she too believes that Dreams can come true if there is a willingness to pursue them. I have always believed that Passion adds Life to our Lives and one of her Quotes say it – “Nourish and cherish your mind for it is the staircase to success, your hobbies infuse fresh air into your daily routine”. How marvellous!
At the outset, I must applaud Mr Ian Pinto’s imagination and his approach used for penning down the wonderful poems.
A realization dawned upon me as I read them – “Ian indeed is a true Messenger of God!” His understanding about Spirituality is much evident in his poems on Mary, Mercy, Praying Hands, and When I met Jesus. I would urge the readers to pay special attention to – “In faith if I cling to Him, in moments dreary and dark, His grace will lift me, and help me sing like a lark”, the lines he has penned in his poem on Faith.
All the Best, Sumirasko.
It was indeed a delightful experience to go through the poetry collection of Sumirasko. It will not be out of place to mention that all the hard work of writing 226 poems demands appreciation. Rose, in itself, exudes its own beauty and grace but a garden full of roses soothes the eyes. In the same way, Sumirasko’s bountiful poems will be a treat to the readers.
Birth, Death, & in-Between by Arlene Corwin
Having composed 3,000 poems, Arlene Corwin has extended the thematically based book Birth, Death & In Between II, the theme repeating it seems, lifelong – repeated, but never repetitive. She speaks of the worlds of thought and event which start in birth and end in death. Corwin has opinions, universal and far-reaching, and throughout her world of Art all encompassing ; mature in breadth and style as well as years. A prolific writer, she goes from the ridiculous to the sublime, creating phantasmagorical ideas and working them until they have the rhythm, rhyme and development that satisfies her. She says she has no plan, aim or scheme to help her. A jazz musician and longtime yogini, she pu
