  Ek Swapnadrashta ka Romanticism...

  Saumitra Saxena

  'Ek Swapnadrashta ka Romanticism' or 'The Romanticism of a Dreamer' is a long poem by Saumitra Saxena written in Hindi. The audiobook narrator is Harish Bhimani. The cover art is based on a paiting by Safdar Shami. 
  If we think of long-poems, Nirala's 'Ram ki Shaktipuja,' Trilochan's 'Nagai Mehra,' Muktibodh's' Andhere Mein,' 'Patkatha' by Dhumil, and 'Lukman Ali' by Saumitra Mohan at once spring to mind. You may also find long-poems by Vishnu Khare, Leeladhar Jagudi, Chandrakant Devtale, Man Bahadur Singh, and Bhagwat Rawat, but any search for the genre after them leaves you empty-handed. The present poem by Saumitra may be taken as the next page of the Hindi poetic tradition. Entering the core of the poem, one feels the poet's anxiety about the present. And what exactly is that concern? Racial violence, estrangement, loss of freedom, pillage, genocide, bloodshed in the name of religion, struggle for dominance— these are the burning issues that have not only taken hold of today's India, but the entire world. 
  These are the flames devouring natural human values like freedom, love, and sympathy. Saumitra is a dreamer who has nothing to lose but a world to gain— who yearns for peace, tranquility, and freedom for the entire humanity. He gives form to the contemporary tragedy through miniature images and pictures. The truth of today's life is not presented here through some romantic perspective, but rather through that eye for a reality in which sages like Abraham Lincoln, John Hus, and Mahatma Gandhi had to lay down their lives for the sake of freedom, love, and unity. 
  This poem, written in simple, straightforward diction, presents the blood-smeared history of human cruelty, in the backdrop of which, despite hopelessness, there is yet enough sparkle of hope to make a man stand up again. Actually, it's the quality of our native tradition which has been conveyed through a unique mode of expression.

  Paradise Regained

  In Paradise Regained, Satan again is on the prowl, having successfully tempted Adam and Eve and forced their departure from the Garden of Eden, here he sets out to tempt again – this time Jesus himself as he comes to the end of his forty days in the desert. The magisterial poetry of Milton enriches the encounter and, while not matching the greatness achieved in Paradise Lost, provides drama and depth.

  The Poetry Of Ford Madox Ford

  Ford Madox Ford was born Ford Hermann Hueffer on 17th December 1873 in Wimbledon, London, England. 
  Today he is best known for one book, ‘The Good Soldier’, which is regularly held to be one of the 100 greatest novels of all time.  But, rather unfairly, the breadth of his career has been overshadowed.  He wrote novels as well as essays, poetry, memoirs and literary criticism. Today he is well-regarded but known only for a few works rather than the grand arc of his career. 
  Ford collaborated with Joseph Conrad on three novels but would later complain that, as with all his collaborators, and those he so readily championed, his contribution was overshadowed by theirs. 
  He founded The English Review and The Transatlantic Review which were instrumental in publishing and promoting the works of so many authors and movements. 
  During WWI he initially worked on propaganda books before enlisting. Ford was invalided back to Britain in 1917 but remained in the army giving lectures until the War’s end. After a spell recuperating in the Sussex countryside he lived mostly in France during the 1920s. 
  He published the series of four novels known as Parade’s End, between 1924 and 1928. These were particularly well-received in America, where Ford spent much of his time from the later 1920s to his death in 1939. 
  His last years were spent teaching at Olivet College in Olivet, Michigan. 
  His poetry is an excellent example of his talents.  His evocation of the horrors of War are outstanding examples of the time and have become greatly admired. 
  Ford Madox Ford died on 26th June 1939 at Deauville, France at the age of 65.

  All Shards and Paste

  Shards are the chipped-off pieces and eroded grains of myself that I collected from my mid-20s, when I was almost homeless again (yes, again), through my 30s, when I fought through that poverty, depression, and grief to find myself as a survivor. A poet doesn't just love you for a moment. She lets you puncture her skin with the way you feel, lets it heal, and then rubs it now and then to feel you again. This debut collection of poetry and hand-drawn artwork by a Cleveland, Ohio artist tells stories of traumas, breaking cycles, sexy romances, and the bond between the poet and reader.
