The Year of the Poet XII March 2025, (Paperback)

<b>Foreword</b> <p><i><b>Frustration, Sorrow, Determination</b></i> </p><p>"Poems can have order, sanity, <br>aesthetic distance from debris<br>All I have learnt from pain<br>I always knew<br>but could not do"<br> <b> - Eunice de Souza- </b> </p><p>Life is the permutation and combination of many emotions. These emotions are abstract. Though they are invisible; still, we feel them and react. They perpetually control and navigate our life. They are the determining factors of any human resource and the mental health of a civilisation. </p><p>Each year "The Year of the Poet" takes different themes. This year 2025 is a year-long poetry memoir training challenges for the Year of the Poet. Frustrations, determinations and sorrow are the themes of this month i.e., for March 2025. </p><p>Frustration indicates the mental health which is a traumatic doldrum situation, a question mark, a semicolon that persuades towards a full stop either in an optimistic way or in a pessimistic way. </p><p>Family, workspace, education, economy, relationship, stress management, love are the binding forces and the contours of one's intellectual existence .as well as the physical dignity.<br>Who doesn't want peace? </p><p>Who doesn't want a dawn that dazzles with new energy? </p><p>Who does not want the basic needs of life? But when the expectations cross beyond the self-made parameter, forced by outer agents we cry. We express to dilute our frustration. At times the narcist approach and identity crisis accelerates our ego and individualistic super ego. </p><p>The linguistic contortions or distortions are the testaments of human life. Peace starts with the smiles. Let us listen to the tears. There are many strategies to overcome frustrations and convert the toxic relations to love. Our perceptions, our priorities our approaches and action plans change. Patience and perseverance win the race. The resurrection after the ordeal brings rainbow smiles. </p><p>The Inner Child Press with its mission of building bridges of cultural understanding takes the responsibility for global peace and harmony through poetry with International Anthologies. We respect the land, nature, folk tales, culture, music, literature, perceptions, ideas, thoughts, language, art, artisans and all ethnic groups of the world beyond the borders. </p><p>Since the theme of the world Poetry Day 2025 is Poetry as a bridge for Peace and inclusion. We express our respect and gratitude to the trend setters those who have accepted human challenges and set examples. </p><p>Literature has undergone a tectonic change as Artificial Intelligence has replaced human creativity in many ways. We express our deep reverence to all the apostles of this time zone who have solved the situations, saved human lives and helped the economic, cultural social growth of society. </p><p>Each language is an intrinsic value and literature is a great responsibility towards the Mother Nature and Greater humanity. </p><p>Poetry is the living song of human race ........ </p><p>When the whole world is silent even one voice becomes powerful. We respect the humanity. We respect the voice that stands as a pillar for justice, life, peace and for the growth of civilisation. </p><p>Let there be coexistence beyond any disparities.<br>We appreciate the designers of literature and language.<br>Let our determination delete all sorrow and frustrations.<br>Let us listen to the tears<br>Long live global peace .... </p><p>"Inside the morni</p>
