Announcing that contributor Michael Steffen has a new book out, I Saw My Life.

About I Saw My Life: From the saying “I saw my life flash before my eyes”, the book’s title announces thresholds, things and moments of arrest and luminosity, resplendent, but also shocking as a near-death experience might be, and fleeting as any flash may be. The stars in their constellations at night glimpsed up through leaves of a tree, the drama of a scull tipped in a powerful mid-river current, a woven shopping handbag, such objects in their places and handling evoke the weights and sensations revisiting the body in reflective memory, at the heart of poetry’s deeply personal yet widely shared and recognized expressions.

It’s available for review from Lily Poetry Review’s press.

This month’s issue rides high on a wave, surging towards us with a theme of Fluidity.

Some contributors literally speak of water. Eva Lianou Petropoulou personifies the creatures of the sea as she calls for an end to litter and pollution. Xoʻjyozova Dildora discusses environmental damage to the Aral Sea and efforts to restore the ecosystem. Elaine Murray celebrates the wonder of the ocean, wishing to become a mermaid. Brian Barbeito recollects being stung by a jellyfish, resting, and turning out okay in time, comforted by natural and literary beauty. Later, he celebrates the seafaring-inspired writing of Joseph Conrad.

Others address different aspects of life that can feel fluid, such as light and vast open landscapes. Juan Vadillo’s review describes Beatriz Saavedra Gastélum’s poetry collection, “Lucid Breath of Light,” as a journey exploring light in its various forms, memories, and transformations. Mesfakus Salahin immerses himself into nature and creativity. Stephen Jarrell Williams’ serene piece evokes a feeling of gentle tranquility. JoyAnne O’Donnell meditates on a pleasant afternoon outside in a meadow. Sheikha A.’s short, lyrical pieces use vivid imagery and concise language to evoke a range of natural and serene scenes. Sayani Mukherjee celebrates the beauty and splendor of an outdoor festival. Yee Leonsoo’s poems use extreme natural places (a salt desert and a deep-sea sinkhole) to explore identity, memory, and the feeling of in-between-ness. Mark Young’s geographies creatively mutate random regions of Australia into works of art.

We can also perceive time as more fluid than linear. Chuck Taylor explores the idea of the “now” and how it can be captured in words, considering the brief moments between perception and recording. Barbaros İrdelmen’s pieces intertwine ordinary images with themes of love and loss to explore how human connection, memory, and longing persist within and against time’s flow. Kareem Abdullah speaks of love, longing, and memory. Mustafa Abdulmalek Al-Sumaidi reminds us that we are all mortal. Abdel Iatif Moubarak renders up a tale of a singer’s faded glory still piercing the darkness of night.

One’s personality and attitudes also morph and shift over the years. Sevara Matnazarova outlines how her personality and outlook on life changed as she grew older. Susie Gharib’s work addresses authenticity, self-expression, and a desire for a more compassionate and peaceful existence. John Grey’s work explores vulnerability and resilience within the human (and natural) experience. Elisa Mascia’s pieces draw upon changeable natural phenomena such as wind and butterflies to dramatize introspective and emotive explorations of love, loss, and transformation. Yeon Myung-ji’s poem uses the act of shelling beans as a rich metaphor for introspection, resilience, and the quiet, often overlooked, processes of life and growth. Duane Vorhees’ poems explore themes of love, identity, and transformation, often blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. Nattie O’ Sheggzy delves into the complexities of simple things and searches for meaning, beauty, and authenticity in a chaotic and often dissonant world.

A whole set of poems by Niall McGrath explore themes of memory, identity, social commentary, and personal struggle, often set against the backdrop of Northern Ireland. Poet Michael Todd Steffen, interviewed by Cristina Deptula about his new book I Saw My Life, explores the intersection of personal and historical memories, identity, and mortality, aiming to inspire reflection, acceptance, and a deeper appreciation for the world around us. Lan Xin highlights how holding space for wonder and gratitude can enhance our daily lives. Kandy Fontaine’s piece mixes theater and prose, celebrating artist Tricia Warden and the intersection of art, literature, and identity, particularly in the context of feminist and queer perspectives.  Christopher Bernard kicks off the next installment of his children’s story Otherwise, a mixture of cultural thought, suspense and middle-grade energy. Tanja Vučićević describes a personal journey, both physically and emotionally, as they navigate through challenges and seek solace and salvation.

Writing can play a part in personal reflection and development. J.J. Campbell uses poetry to process his own experiences and emotions and to comment on the human condition. Yongbo Ma’s poems are reflective and introspective, exploring themes of isolation, disconnection, and the search for meaning. Manik Chakraborty wakes us up with the graceful hope of a new morning and continues to seek artistic inspiration despite abandonment from a muse. Ryan Quinn Flanagan probes ordinary life with a poet’s eye, considering the significance of even mundane objects. Jacques Fleury uses rich imagery and references to mythology and literature to highlight the owl’s dualistic nature, embodying both positive and foreboding qualities. Ananya Guha creates a place where a moment of fear and the stories told about it later blend together into a lasting personal myth, half memory, half ghost story. High school English student Reilley Andre expresses a mature perspective on life, pointing out how different people see matters from various points of view, expressing grief, and showing gratitude for his caring sister.

Some love can remain steady amid the flow of time. Gulsanam Mamasiddiqova offers up words of respect and love for her father. Mubina Botirova expresses her love and gratitude for her mother.

Anindya Paul speaks to a profound and intimate romantic devotion that lingers after death. Daniela Chourio-Soto expresses nostalgia through the means of scent. Yongbo Ma’s playful work also encompasses themes of love and human romantic connection.

Of course, not all love stories end happily, and loss is a part of the human condition. Leon Drake’s poems of heavy nostalgia mourn words left unspoken and relationships left unexplored. Donna Dallas speaks of trauma, monstrosity, addiction, and toxic relationships. Kassandra Aguilera’s fragmented poem explores the intoxicating and often painful dynamics of infatuation. On a broader scale, Milena Pčinjski laments the weight of a troubled world, all that could be and all that will never be. Yet, vulnerability is not necessarily weakness, but a prerequisite for change and growth.

Love and caring can also encompass more than one’s own inner circle. Several contributors discuss the fluid state of societal and international relations and advocate for peace and justice. Alan Catlin’s work highlights the human cost of war and its echoes in art and the human soul. Abigail George’s melancholic, reflective poems mourn destruction in Gaza and a personal loss. Shlok Pandey’s fictional story is a poignant portrayal of the human experience during wartime. David Kokoette describes age-old power dynamics and struggles.

Eva Lianou Petropoulou’s gentle words are set to ethereal vocals and a drifting background melody, with an encore here. Аshurоvа Dinоrа Аnvаrqul qizi outlines the role of Uzbekistan’s National Center for Human Rights.

Cultural and world history might seem static, but it can also be fluid in the sense that we remember it differently, or remember different aspects of it, over time. What and how we remember can have repercussions in the present. Lan Anh, a Vietnamese economics student in Germany, illustrates the intricate web of relationships between nations, economies, and people, highlighting the invisible boundaries that connect and impact lives in unseen ways. Muhammadyusuf Kozimjonov outlines the historical and cultural development of Uzbekistan. Joseph Ogbonna revels in the intriguing cultural and political history of the island of Corsica.

A common thread in this entire issue is the persistence of human connection in the face of change. Each contributor grapples with how individuals and communities relate to each other, to history and culture, to the natural world. Smaller scale personal narratives and larger stories intertwine as overlapping dimensions of the human story. The blending of artistic forms and styles in several works evokes the complex flowing of ideas within the creative mind, a current that dissolves rigid boundaries among ideas and cultures.

The collection suggests that while much of our lives inevitably flows and shifts with the passage of time and with cultural and technological change, the underlying human impulses to connect, to understand, and to create meaning remain constant..

What you feed on 

So that your body keeps moving 

Is your food 

And what keeps it 

In good trim are your thoughts .

Your stomach is not hungry alone 

Your mind too 

Feeds on certain ideas

What you entertain and take in

Is also a part of your daily diet 

All the ideas that generate in your mind 

Or which strike your mind 

From outside 

Look at the type of thoughts 

You find delicious 

Evil is a great delicacy 

Foul  deeds smell so sweet 

You do not need as many arguments

To commit a crime 

As you need to keep you  away from it

We are healthy on the basis 

Of what we eat

We are happy on the basis of 

What we intake as thoughts 

Together they form a complete man

Our focus is on fruit, calories, 

Vitamins, Calcium etc 

But we make extra use of our brain too 

Which is rivetted on artificial joys,

Making merry and go happy.

The thoughts it needs are missing 

We are on a decadent diet 

Dwindling by the  day

DEVELOPING ENVIRONMENT IN THE PRESCHOOL EDUCATION SYSTEM AND ITS PEDAGOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Dildorakhon Turgunboyeva, Student of the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology of Kokand State University

Annotation. This article highlights the importance of a developing environment in the process of educating preschool children. It scientifically analyzes the content, main functions of the developing environment, and its impact on the cognitive, socio-emotional and creative development of children. It also provides practical recommendations on the organization and effective use of a developing environment in the pedagogical process.

Keywords: Preschool education, developing environment, education, child development, pedagogical approaches, creative development, socio-emotional development.

INTRODUCTION. Preschool is one of the most important, active stages of growth and development in a young person’s life. During this period, the child is formed not only physically, but also mentally, socially, morally and aesthetically. Therefore, the educational environment created at this age is of decisive importance for the child’s future life and personal development. The Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PF-19 dated February 5, 2026 “On measures to further improve the system of preschool education and upbringing” and the comprehensive measures aimed at its implementation serve to develop the preschool education system in accordance with modern requirements. In this process, the developing environment created for preschool children plays an important role in their adaptation to society and comprehensive development[1].

LITERATURE ANALYSIS AND METHODS. The issue of the environment affecting the development of preschool children has been widely studied in modern pedagogical and psychological sciences. In particular, Lev Vygotsky’s theory of social development substantiates the decisive role of the developing environment in the formation of a child’s knowledge and skills. According to him, child development occurs in the process of interaction with the social environment and adults. In modern preschool education practice, advanced pedagogical approaches such as the Montessori method and the Reggio Emilia approach demonstrate effective methods for creating a developing environment. In these approaches, the environment is considered one of the main factors in the child’s development and serves to support his independence, creativity and initiative. At the same time, the pedagogical competence of parents and educators, as well as the child’s entry into a healthy social environment, are also of great importance. This study used methods of analysis, comparison and generalization of scientific literature.

DISCUSSION. Creating a developing environment in the process of educating preschool children is an important condition for the comprehensive development of the child. Analysis of theoretical sources shows that the pedagogical views of scientists such as Lev Vygotsky justify the central role of the developing environment in the mental and social development of the child. At the same time, modern pedagogical approaches such as the Montessori method and the Reggio Emilia approach highlight the importance of the developing environment not only in terms of the material and technical base, but also in supporting the independence, initiative and creative freedom of the child.

In practice, the organization of a developing environment is not limited to toys and didactic materials. It includes, first of all, the attitude of educators to the child, effective communication, an atmosphere of cooperation and positive social relations. The results of the study show that children brought up in such an environment tend to think independently, acquire teamwork skills and actively engage in creative activities. Education is a process of comprehensive development of the younger generation, the formation of its consciousness, behavior and worldview, based on a specific goal, based on socio-historical experience [2. – P. 388].

In this regard, it is important to regularly update the developing environment in preschool educational institutions and introduce modern pedagogical methods into practice. However, there are some problems in organizing a developing environment. In particular, the lack of material resources, the level of qualification of teachers, and the lack of effective cooperation with parents can negatively affect this process [3. – P. 224]. Therefore, in future research, it remains an urgent issue to eliminate these problems, further improve the developing environment and increase its effectiveness.

RESULTS. A developing environment is a set of physical, psychological, didactic and social conditions created around a child, which supports the comprehensive development of the child’s personality, stimulates his interests and directs him to self-realization. Such an environment includes the following components: a comfortable and safe space adapted to the child, didactic toys and tools appropriate to his age, opportunities for stimulating independent activity, positive communication and emotional support, as well as pedagogical approaches based on play, creativity, experience and discovery. Based on the studied theoretical and practical sources, it was determined that a developing environment is of great importance in educating preschool children.

The results of the study show that a developing environment has a significant impact on the cognitive, socio-emotional and creative development of a child. In particular, such an environment serves to form independent thinking, self-management and decision-making skills in children. It has also been observed that children develop their knowledge and skills effectively when they participate in activities that are relevant to their interests and needs. The activities of teachers and the proper organization of the educational environment strengthen children’s social communication, cooperation and teamwork skills. A developing environment is determined not only by material means, but also by pedagogical approaches and socio-psychological conditions. At the same time, during the study, the lack of a material base and the low level of methodological training of teachers were identified as significant obstacles to creating a developing environment[4. – P. 145].

The main functions of a developing environment are as follows:- Ensuring cognitive development – the child understands the environment through games, activities and experiments, understands cause-and-effect relationships. – Supporting social and emotional development – communication, cooperation and mutual respect skills are formed. – Developing creative potential – the child expresses himself freely through art, music, drawing and dramatic activities. – Forming independence and self-control – the opportunity to act on the basis of choice increases the independence of the child’s personality.

CONCLUSION. In conclusion, we can say that the developing environment created for preschool children ensures their healthy intellectual, social, emotional and creative development. Such an environment is not limited only to material conditions, but also includes the professional qualifications of teachers, their educational approach and a respectful attitude towards the child. Each preschool educational institution should become a free, safe and developing space for children. Teachers, using modern methods and technologies, should create an environment that encourages children’s independence and creativity. At the same time, it is important to constantly improve the educational environment and strengthen cooperation with parents and the public.

THE WORLD WE WANT 

What is worth watching?

And what is worth recording 

History has no ear 

Nor eye for good.

An era of happiness

And peace is unhistorical 

So are good people 

Unfit for a mention 

In history books

If you can threaten life 

And if you can kill

And make rivers of blood 

Flow in the pages of history 

You are the greatest character 

Worth being recorded 

With great reverence 

By the way who is the greatest hero

Of history books?

Socrates and Aristotle 

And Shakespeare do not possess

The top position which history books 

Assign to Alexander, Achelles, 

Napoleon and Hitler

And with great reverence 

We offer their lives to our kids.

Certainly what type of a world

We want? Is there any doubt?

INTRODUCTION

Today, at a time when fundamental reforms are being implemented in the education system, the use of modern approaches in teaching the mother tongue is of great importance. In particular, increasing students’ vocabulary, developing their speech activity, and forming independent thinking skills is one of the urgent pedagogical problems. Working with a dictionary is a key component of native language lessons, allowing not only to learn new words, but also to use them correctly, understand them semantically, and actively use them in speech.

According to modern pedagogical theory, it is necessary to use innovative methods in addition to traditional methods in developing students’ language skills. Because today’s student is being formed in an information technology environment, and his educational needs are also changing. Therefore, the introduction of interactive methods, multimedia tools, and creative tasks in the process of working with a dictionary increases efficiency.

Also, working with a dictionary serves as an important tool in developing not only students’ language skills, but also their thinking, logical thinking, and communicative competence. In this regard, this article studies innovative methods of working with a dictionary on a scientific basis and analyzes their practical effectiveness.

LITERATURE ANALYSIS

The issue of working on vocabulary in native language lessons has been studied by many scholars. In particular, A. Gulyamov, in his work “Methodology of Teaching the Native Language”, emphasizes that increasing vocabulary is the main factor in the speech development of students. According to him, through a deep understanding of the meaning of words and their use in speech, students learn to think independently [1].

Also, N. Mahmudov, in his work “Language and Speech Culture”, notes the need for a systematic organization of the process of working with vocabulary. In his opinion, each new word must be mastered by the student based on the context, otherwise it will not become an active vocabulary [2].

S. Matchonov, in his scientific works, specifically focuses on the importance of interactive methods in mastering vocabulary. According to him, methods such as role-playing games, clustering, and brainstorming naturally increase students’ vocabulary [3].In general, the results obtained scientifically confirm that innovative approaches in native language lessons significantly increase the effectiveness of working with a dictionary. This indicates the need to combine traditional methods with innovative approaches in the modern educational process, without completely rejecting them.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, the process of working with a dictionary in native language lessons is one of the pedagogical areas that is of decisive importance in the formation of students’ speech development, level of thinking and communicative competence. The analysis conducted during the study showed that working with a dictionary is not just a process of teaching new words, but a complex methodological system that shapes students’ attitude to the language, develops their creative and independent thinking.

Traditional approaches – that is, methods of explaining, memorizing and translating words – although useful to a certain extent, cannot fully meet the requirements of today’s education. In a modern educational environment, it is necessary to involve students as active participants, increase their interest and direct them to independent research. In this regard, innovative methods significantly increase the effectiveness of working with a dictionary.

According to the results of the study, interactive methods (cluster, brainstorming, group work), digital technologies (electronic dictionaries, multimedia tools, mobile applications) and gamification elements contribute to the rapid and stable acquisition of vocabulary by students. In particular, these approaches increase students’ interest in the lesson, forming them as active participants and independent thinkers.

Also, the research revealed that when innovative methods are used, students develop not only their vocabulary, but also their speech literacy, level of logical thinking and creative approach. This directly affects the quality of education and the effective organization of the educational process.

In general, organizing work with vocabulary in native language lessons based on modern innovative approaches is one of the important factors in increasing educational efficiency. In the future, teachers should further improve these methods and widely apply them in the educational process. This will serve to form a high level of speech culture, independent thinking and creative approach in students.

The Application of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies in Education and Society

Nurmatova Charosxon Pirnazar qizi

Annotation:

This article attempts to conduct a fundamental analysis of how artificial intelligence (AI) and digital ecosystems—one of the greatest technological and ontological turning points of human civilization—are reshaping the global architecture of society. The paper scientifically substantiates the inefficiency of traditional educational paradigms and the emergence of adaptive algorithmic systems that expand human cognitive abilities.

The central idea of the research is to interpret AI not merely as a technical tool, but as a “catalyst” that enhances the intellectual potential of society. The findings present innovative strategies for personalizing the educational process, eliminating the digital divide, and adapting to transformations in the labor market. In the context of technological determinism, the concept of a “Humanistic Digital Society” is proposed, which prioritizes the human factor and digital ethics.

Main Part:

Today, the educational process has moved from the stage of “information transmission” to the stage of an “intellectual ecosystem.” Artificial intelligence (AI) here functions not only as a tool but also as a personalized learning companion.

Digital technologies enable a transition from vertical (hierarchical) governance systems to horizontal (network-based) structures in society. Society is now measured not by geographical boundaries, but by “data flows.” In modern governance, digital models of cities, transport systems, and even social groups are being created.

With the help of AI, optimizing resources (energy, water, logistics) not only increases economic efficiency but also systematically eliminates corruption and subjectivism associated with human factors. According to research, by 2030, AI will perform up to 85% of tasks such as data entry, standard calculations, and basic diagnostics. This leaves humans responsible mainly for empathy, creativity, negotiation (soft skills), and ethical judgment.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, artificial intelligence and digital technologies are not merely the next innovation, but a new chapter in the intellectual evolution of human civilization. This study shows that transformation in the education system is not just about replacing textbooks with tablets—it is about creating a “personal intellectual environment” that elevates each individual’s potential to an unlimited level and expands their cognitive abilities.

The Interior Castle

Nights are lonely,

days too

The light

The light

All this light

The curtains

The big screen television

The plate

The cup

The knife

The fork

They’re lonely

They talk about Gaza 

less and less these days

It’s quietened down

The question is rather about Trump,

and does he have 

a chemical imbalance

Grief,

well, grief comes to me in waves,

with fanfare and declaration

If I say 

that I will 

remember you

Will you 

remember 

me too?

What is this grief?

What is this sadness?

Let me sit beside the sea 

and count the waves 

Let me sit here

and remember your face 

in my hands, or as you

turned towards me,

your hand in mine

as you confessed

that your heart loved me,

as you proclaimed that I was beautiful,

as we regained hopefulness

that we had found each other again 

in the wilderness

of the lost years

Even now I find 

novel meaning in your absence,

You left me with the strength,

a power and will

to carry on

I want to tell you that

with my whole heart

You’re not here

You’re not here now,

anymore

Yet you’re alive for another woman

Grief in my heart

biting at me like a rat

cutting at me like a knife

Stay there in the wilderness,

make a home there

Marry another

Marry the woman in your life

Make her your wife

She’ll call you husband

as I lay in this bed,

this ward,

this hospital

As a city, Gaza,

is under siege,

as children die like flies

I remember the 

chocolate bar I gave you

The one the magistrate gave to me

You were beautiful to me,

kind to me

I called you “Husband”

Yes, I did

I did

Now I write these sad poems

to reach you

Do you finally understand 

who I am as a woman?

It’s come much too late

Your understanding of me

All I have is the flowers in your eyes

This grief and melancholia,

this daylight,

the smell of the meat burning in the pot

Well, they all taste like tears to me.

The shape of your neck

I am a wave

I am tired

I am as tired as a wave

The wave is inside of me

The wave is Gaza

The wave is a shack

The wave is waiting to be liberated

The wave is the Freedom Fighter

The wave is the land

The wave is the title deed to the land

The wave is the doorway to humanity

I am a wave

I am the water in the wave

I am tired

I am tired

Comrade, I am tired of waiting for freedom

The wave is a bird

The wave is Charles Bukowski’s

Linda vacuuming

The wave is an empty glass

The wave is the rot in this country

The wave is blue

The wave is full of cloud

I am the wave

I am tired

Letter To A Poet In Gaza

There is one moon

There is still bread

There are photographs 

of who you were before 

this madness

buried under rubble

There are roses and life

Life!

There is the laughter of a child

But in war what do you have?

There is no birdsong,

only a cage,

only this prison,

only the camps

To survive you write

You must!

You have poems and poetry,

the ability to write,

and that must be enough,

sufficient in a sense

to keep on going,

to keep on living, 

to keep on breathing

It must

But one thing I wanted 

to ask you is this

Do you still smile?

The Child In Time

Sun bright and hot

I have no clock

to count the hands of time,

the length of this war

Sun, why aren’t you happy?

Is it because children are dying?

Sons and daughters of the earth,

of Palestine,

of the Muslim world?

Is it because ordinary people 

are turned into martyrs

by bombs and airstrikes?

I sip green tea in a tranquil garden,

a calm sea of green

but I’m angry

Angry that another daughter has no father,

that they aren’t being educated

to the tune of philosophy, poetry,

literature, political science and economics

There is no music in war unless 

musicians are playing instruments

There is no you without me

Can’t you see that?

Mothers cry for their sons

Stop, please stop

Make it stop

Children are crying 

for the ethnic cleansing to stop

This morning all there is to see

is an avalanche of rubble

I left you standing there

Was it yesterday

Who knows how far you 

have travelled by now

under a bright sun,

under a hot sun

Who knows when we 

will meet again traveller, 

child in time?

Just remember this

You are not the genocide

that the world 

has forgotten about.

Cloud People

By Abigail George

The clouds

I long to see the clouds

People

I long to see people too

Sometimes I see people

in the clouds

Sometimes I see 

your brown eyes too

Cats and dogs

Well, where are they?

Only skulls remain

A few years ago

there were flowers 

on the table,

there was oil, flour and water 

to make bread

Now there is only the salt in the sea,

the cold reality of war, 

of hunger, of innocence lost

It hurts

It hurts

It hurts

The membrane that is your silence hurts

The gland that your loneliness consists of hurts

Yes, even your memory hurts

It just reminds me of your absence

Yes, it hurts

Every night in my dreams I ask you

When are you coming back to me?

I am waiting for your return.
