Ban'ya Natsuishi

Again, I am thrilled to be involved in the process of expounding works of this incredible author, who has been a great influence in forging ahead with my own style of muki-haiku (seasonless poem technique)! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dbZXWtmNYo

Barbara E. Mercer

Barbara Mercer never asserts, doesn’t give ready answers (sign: !), but as ancient Pythia, insinuating and using deep interrogation (sign: ?). Her poetic work of departure – “little red book of poetry” – under different covers, always thinks: “Secrets”, “Mystic Wills”. Always: “Ready to reveal/Deeply held secrets”. And it is not simply “a Victorian throwback”, but the evidence of triumph, laughter and the pursuit of Eternally Young Blood:

Born in Nepal in the 1970’s, Bhuwan Thapaliya was raised and educated in Kathmandu. He studied economics and finance before turning to poetry in his mid twenties.

Bhuwan is not just a poet; he is a man with a mission, seeking world peace. He is a prolific poet and is writing his own Everest, but his writing is not only about statistics. It is about spreading the message of global peace, universal solidarity and love. "Behold the spirit of poetry ... it never dies, nor does it ever grow old.

Chirag Tulsiani

Thoughts unless expressed are only known to you; the individual. One must realize that when nothing goes your way, when nothing is by your side, your thoughts still are. And when these thoughts take the shape of words, a book is born. Each story of this book has a different fragrance in its atmosphere. It is on account of the variety and the overall hue that I have named this book ‘Air’. And I sincerely hope that after reading the last line of the twenty third story the readers, close this book with a rainbow of thoughts and consider to be benefited than being left claustrophobic and seen gasping for some fresh ‘air’.

D. Everett Newell

D Everett Newell is most convincing and admirable in this collection. In the intensity of his imagination, we reach the climax of his poetic life. His intuitive complexity is revealed in concrete images or words. The myriad subtleties of his thought are truly amazing. D Everett Newell is one of the greatest poets the modern world has known. The poems show sharp conciseness of style. These poems are full of an impressive outpouring of spontaneous passion. The precious characteristic of these poems is a remarkable aptness of phraseMy name is Dennis Everett Newell; I am called in no certain order, Denny, Den, Big D, D Everett, and Dennis. It’s funny, but I can usually tell by how someone calls my name, what time in my life we shared. I guess there are many layers to a life that has now spanned 61 years. My middle name, Everett, has been passed down in our family since the Civil War. My great-great-grandfather’s name was Darius Newell, who named his son Silas Everett Newell, my great-grandfather. He in turn named his son John Everett Newell, my grandfather, who then in turn named my dad, John Everett Newell Jr. My dad named me Dennis Everett Newell, and my son is Corey Everett Newell.

Due to deeply true emotions these poems have an attractive appeal for all readers. The style of these poems is quite attractive due to every day words used by the poet revealing technical skill and attractive insights. After reading these poems, it is evident that the poet s style is quite lucid. The diction and phrasing of these poems is quite remarkable.

Diwakar Pokhriyal

I am a dim ray in the world of enthralling darkness of misjudgment and iterations. I am a note of melodious tune of peace in the world of cruelty; I am a mischievous thought of freedom in a cage of fear and a syrupy calmness against the rage in tears. I am a smile in the lips of a dying soul; I am a mysterious mist of win over the loss of desires. I am creed, I am love, I am friend , I am smile, I am ...yet I am .........just ...
