Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections From The Heart is an anthology of a hundred short poems by three poets. These have all come from a crucible of lived experiences, which have left a deep impression on the poets’ minds, their hearts, and indeed, the core of their beings. They have, all three of them, finely honed sensibilities that have been tempered by all the vicissitudes that they, as individuals, have been through. And yet these speak to all, for they have a universality that makes every reader recognize the emotion that gave rise to them, and the truth that each one of them encapsulates. These poems are not, for the most part, “emotions recollected in tranquillity”. The feelings and emotions that they are imbued with remain within the skeins of the lines themselves, sometimes raw, sometimes a little distanced, but never, really, too far away from the heart. They cannot really be called “tranquil” poems, for the experiences that gave rise to them remain, and disturb even today. Bhaskar Bora’s poems have a power that comes from the circumstances that many of them were written in. A doctor with a flourishing practice, he found himself wheelchair bound after complications from a neurosurgical operation. In his despair, poetry, the writing of it, became a cathartic experience. His life story is moving, and the reader can empathise with the emotions embedded in his poems of that period. But his grit in creating a new profession for himself, that of a restaurateur, his thoughts and emotions on this journey are inspirational, especially as, through his poems we get a first-hand account of both his despair and his courage. His loss of mobility is paralleled by a soaring creativity. And yet, in some poems, there is also a beautiful sense of peace, possibly made more piquant by the prevailing circumstances of his life. This one, as he watches his daughters asleep at night: The princesses sleep in peace Faces glowing in moonlit rooms Duvets pulled, pillows spaced ... (Midnight: Bhaskar Bora) And yet, none of the three poets wallow in any kind of self-pity, nor are these an exercise in navel gazing. No, not at all. There is always, in all the poems, a sense of a wider world, in fact a greater entity, even, in some of them that raise them above the level of unremitting hopelessness to one of hope and a sense of journeying into a brighter future. I may not walk today Tomorrow I may run I may be in pain today Tomorrow is my turn (Tomorrow is my Turn: Bhaskar Bora) And of course, there is the cry of pain, moving and poignant, that pierces the reader’s mind. Pains seen, unseen, Voices heard, unheard As the silence screams Into a deafening noise Laughter, sorrow, anger, despair Melt together in the golden brew. (Dance of the Dead: Bhaskar Bora)

Book excerpt: A collection of verses take the reader through the uneven terrain of life - at times soothing and serene while at other times, reflecting upon the eternal enigma called life embedded within the uncertainties that take one by surprise and awe. Composed on various occasions, contemplating diverse themes, at times, dealing with feelings very private to heart, while, on other occasions dwelling upon universal instincts, in this first volume, the poets have given their honest expression to the flood of emotions that had overpowered their beings finding a way into their heart and soul that needed to be spoken of. They have spoken through the language of poetry - pristine and unadulterated with material concerns, it's the rejoicing voice of souls that has embraced life as it came to them! Yet, there is always something to look up to - despite all that seemingly does little to generously sprinkle joy across mundane lives, the verses awaken the soul to deeper sensations making the dark appear beautiful and grief sublime, wreathed together with love - the eternal inspiration that pushes the soul through all barriers - physical and emotional, forever to cherish the joy of living and longing - in our shared experience of Life! Join us in this journey.'You'll be on an emotional rollercoaster throughout this anthology of poems by Bhaskar, Merry and Santanu Sir"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 100 of the most moving and inspiring poems of the last 200 years from around the world, a collection that will comfort and enthrall anyone trapped by grief or loneliness, selected by the award-winning, best-selling, and beloved author of How to Read a Poem Implicit in poetry is the idea that we are enriched by heartbreaks, by the recognition and understanding of suffering—not just our own suffering but also the pain of others. We are not so much diminished as enlarged by grief, by our refusal to vanish, or to let others vanish, without leaving a record. And poets are people who are determined to leave a trace in words, to transform oceanic depths of feeling into art that speaks to others. In 100 Poems to Break Your Heart, poet and advocate Edward Hirsch selects 100 poems, from the nineteenth century to the present, and illuminates them, unpacking context and references to help the reader fully experience the range of emotion and wisdom within these poems. For anyone trying to process grief, loneliness, or fear, this collection of poetry will be your guide in trying times.

Book excerpt: Life has a way of bringing out the best in us, the good and the bad. The main poem, Tree Connection will leave you asking yourself, Will you sway? Will you stay rooted? Who's tying you down? Who's poking you? Will life cause you to be crooked? Will you flourish? Will you die? Will you lean? Will you bend? Is there truly a connection between trees and a person? Some will doubt the connection of a tree to a live person, but this poem will answer their doubt. It will challenge you to look at where your strength comes from in relation to that of an actual tree planted here on earth. Reflect on your life story of testing who you really are when life challenges you with raining cats and dogs, clear skies ahead, to sleeting and hailing all over. As you continue to inhale and exhale while reading this poem, the next few poems will have your heart racing and excited to read more. If you have ever lost a loved one, a friendship, a relationship, or even a job, you will and can relate to the poems in this book. These inspiring poems will take you on intimate thrills in and around relationships. A path of emotions--through love, turmoil, struggle, identity loss, and society trying to define you. But through it all, the poems will touch your heart and leave you with real life encounters of encouraging uplifting words. Don't stop now, read and enjoy the ride.
