The Godai Mirabilia is a series of poems detailing the beauty and power of the five elements of the Japanese philosophy Godai. Each of these elements are beautiful and powerful in its own way and this poetry collection captures them as the wonders of the natural world that they are. The first element is fire, fire is destructive yet beautiful, it can bring death that then allows for new life to growth. The second element, water, is flexible, flowing everywhere and teeming with life as if itself is alive. Earth is the third element, it is both the ground beneath us and the rest of the natural world on it, it is considered to be the element of stability and resisting change. The fourth element is air, which is seen by many to represent freedom, grace, and wisdom. The final element is void, the element is representative of the connection of all things, what is beyond creation and the emptiness that came before it. These elements come together to create the universe in its purest form, bringing what is necessary for life, energy, and endless possibilities of what is to come.

'Parwaaz' is my second collection of writings. After 'Aagaaz', Parwaaz is my collection of ghazals, nazms, rubais and poems. My love for both Hindi and Urdu hypnotizes my pen and makes it dance in its own way. Sometimes Hindi shows its magic in the guise of poems and sometimes Urdu dominates its magic in the form of ghazal, nazms and rubais. However, my only effort has been to follow the instructions of my pen while writing, which itself chooses any feelings from the bundle of memories in my heart and spreads it on a blank page. Most of the poems in this book are very close to my heart. What makes them special is how they sing the songs of my heart, my life. It seems as if these poems are the clay structuring my life into a beautiful creation. In the end, I would like to give credit to each and everyone who constantly supported and encouraged me to write by cheering for me at each step and pushed me to be better by being my best critics. Thank you to each one of them.

""How do you discern a rainbow's hues when you're colour-blind? How do you look at a broken piece of glass and say """"This is perfection?""""No one knows what happened to that child who survived a storm or why the young girl sold sunflowers at midnight. No one knows what happens when you pull a tarot card of Death and hope for the best.Raging with despair from losing a loved one and coming from a home where being vulnerable and free meant being imperfect and lawless, Cracks On Shatterproof Glass candidly shifts between themes of darkness, love, loss and resilience narrated through deeply entertaining and sometimes disturbing tales of fantasy and poems.""

In Luigi Maffezzoli l'incanto del far poesia con umiltà è un disegnare per capitoli minimi.Nelle parole quasi ombre lunghe uno stemperare la luce intensa di stagioni lontane.Una stremata "impotenza" sente le contraddizioni del movimento storico e della propria esistenza.Nella frantumazione del quotidiano il poeta tenta, apre un rapporto sotterraneo, problematico, con le sue storie e con la Storia e ne misura la lacerazione.Con silenziosa attenzione affiorano immagini, il fluire del tempo, il respiro, il travaglio delle cose, il tuo sguardo, il tuo disincanto d'inquiete atmosfere che avvertono con acutezza la sfera di mutazioni nel troppo pieno dell'oggi in un resistere alla minaccia del vuoto.Dalla presentazione di Sandro Sardella

The title of this book, From the Heart, tells how powerful these poems are. Almost every emotion known to man is in this book. The author wrote these poems during some very trying times in her life.

What does it mean to love a woman--a mother, an other--and hold her at arm's length? Clara Joseph's third collection of poems, M/OTHER, skillfully navigates the nuances and irony of this daily exercise. With each turn of the page, the narrative gains emotional intensity and takes readers on unexpected journeys, such as this one: ""He smiled like the man he was/as he copied wonder into my lap, . . ./And I bent to smell his washed scalp;/the nip was barely visible . . ./And the snake slid away/in the shadows between/our hooves."" While the collection playfully experiments with language and form, it never obscures the gravity of its themes, as in the parenthetical query: ""(Could I be a Ruth to my Naomi?/Or would I be--simply--ruthless?)"" The collection is divided into three parts, each exploring the multifaceted nature of motherhood, uncovering biographical details, certainties, uncertainties, and the intricacies of hidden pasts. It also contemplates unconventional messages, both reverent and irreverent, unveiling their magical essence. In the final section, the book contemplates senility and will, death and miracle, and survival and freedom.
