The Best Poem The most efficient way to write a poem Is to find another poem and take out the heart. Leave the other poem where you found it bleeding out. If it were efficient it would have survived like the catfish deserting a sinking ship. After it has sunk, they crawl about the bottom chewing on the rats and the hands that didn’t get out. That is natural selection. The best poems are the poems that are here. They persevere through merit. They go to Burning Man to find more truth. Shelley has built a Byronic hedge fund of virtue and innovation. It stands naked and peeing in the night of wisdom. And where its urine spatters test scores rise like manly locks shaking in the storm of cost benefit analysis. This is the poem that ate your heart. This is the poem whose heart was eaten. We need less blood and more Human Resources if we are to go into the dark of genius and emerge with the light of anthology.

Poetry from Lidia Popa

Voices of Gaza In the streets of Gaza, where shadows fall, Children's laughter fades into a distant call. There are no shortcuts, only endless struggles, A journey marked by the edge of a knife. To reach the goals, it takes everyone's toil and commitment, In a land where dreams barely survive. Patience, the guide in the darkest night, Learning, growing, seeking the light. In the heart of Gaza, the cruel embrace of hunger, Thirst and pain etched on every face. Yet hope persists, a glimmer in the darkness, A promise of peace, a flower that blooms. Remember, world, the cries of the little ones, In Gaza, where the innocent fall. Cease the fire now, let compassion reign, End the suffering, ease the pain. For every step on this weary path, Is a testimony to the lasting wrath. But with every lesson, in every tear shed There is strength to move forward. In unity, we stand, hand in hand, For the children of Gaza, for this sacred land, hoping. May peace prevail, may love ignite, A future where all can bask in the light.

Poetry from Stephen Jarrell Williams
Haiku Pokes
night edging in
ache of tall buildings
hugging those inside
taking chances
homeless venturing out
looking for kind words
eye in the sky
teardrops cleansing
the whole world
playing the guitar
quiet strokes soothing
pit of the city
numb this night
world sinking into itself
the last seizure
waiting
for the snap of time
when we wake up
little dancer
not knowing when she grows up
taking chances
young artist
only a moment smiling
a cartoon face
breaking news
splitting the world
in half
wind whispering
circling the globe
in a chokehold
at the doorstep
a new day
careful footing

Poetry from Shoxijahon Urunov

The Heart
Heart.
Because of you, misfortunes have no end,
Where you are, danger lies close or distant.
Cast away deceit, turn back and repent,
For on Judgment Day, there will be questions to answer.
I envy those without a heart,
They don’t burn, don’t love, and don’t even die.
How can they? For they have no heart.
But me? I have a thousand hearts…
Yet still, something feels incomplete.
Some have hearts, but they’re lifeless, dead,
Even if torn apart, no blood would be shed.
Inside them, parasites hum their tune,
Even a dog wouldn’t eat what’s thrown to it soon.
Are there such people in life, I wonder?
Yes. Don’t you see? Look closer, further.
Those who sell conscience and homeland for gold,
With no compassion, their hearts are cold.
The heart — a delicate, unique creation,
It cannot be left unguarded, not for a moment.
Close your eyes briefly, and it might be led astray,
Even by desires for the unworthy in the fray.
Shoxijahon Urunov — student of Bukhara State Pedagogical Institute
Poetry from Maja Milojkovic

LAND OF SILENCE
In the valley where the wind softly smiles,
Where birds sing free from fear and pain,
Peace weaves robes of golden threads,
And crafts a world of boundless freedom.
On the horizon where dawn gleams bright,
No cannons roar, no tears of grief fall,
Only whispers of rivers, the scent of olives,
In a world where hearts rest in calm.
No longer do hands bear weapons of war,
Now they reach to build bridges anew,
Eyes once shadowed by darkness and pain
Now seek only the skies’ heavenly hue.
For in peace, love blooms and grows,
While tales of war become distant lore.
In every heart glows a spark of joy,
And life’s silence creates a radiant light.
Land of silence, sacred and dear,
May eternity rest in your gentle embrace.
Let every song from this place arise,
To spread love and the fragrance of freedom.
Maja Milojković was born in 1975 in Zaječar, Serbia. She is a person to whom from an early age, Leonardo da Vinci’s statement “Painting is poetry that can be seen, and poetry is painting that can be heard” is circulating through the blood. That’s why she started to use feathers and a brush and began to reveal the world and herself to them. As a poet, she is represented in numerous domestic and foreign literary newspapers, anthologies and electronic media, and some of her poems can be found on YouTube. Many of her poems have been translated into English, Hungarian, Bengali and Bulgarian due to the need of foreign readers. She is the recipient of many international awards. “Trees of Desire” is her second collection of poems in preparation, which is preceded by the book of poems “Moon Circle”. She is a member of the International Society of Writers and Artists “Mountain Views” in Montenegro, and she also is a member of the Poetry club “Area Felix” in Serbia.
Essay from Z.I. Mahmud (one of several)
Henrik Ibsen’s Theatrical Drama Ghosts

Stage set of a mostly dark living room with blue velvet and wooden chairs, houseplants, and lamps.
In your view does Mrs. Alving mark the emergence of the modern woman in western theatre? Assess her characterization especially in the light of her conduct with her husband in the past and her son at the end of the play.
Two men and two women, in red and blue gowns and petticoats, and two men in suits, on this stage set.
Mrs. Helen Alving is a pioneer radical progressive stalwart feminist embodied character of Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts and her cowardice and/or foolery with the cloaking of darkness of past life is tainted with scandals. Mrs. Alving vouchsafes the seduction scene of her beloved son’s flirtations with Regina in the vein of her closetting Captain Alving’s promiscuity with the domestic hearth stewardess parlour maid Johanne. Mrs Alving is a hybrid and fluid rebellious spirit adhered to keeping up with appearances in the western tradition.
The impending dooming catastrophe of upholding a fictitious pair of perfect couple is a gobsmack revelation foreshadowing Oswald and Regina’s unbeknownst incestuous romance. Phantom spectral love-making of the preceding generation reincarnates into the half-siblings unrequited love as embodied by the poltergeist alter egos. However, Mrs. Alving insists Pastor Manders in refraining from intrusion into the tempestuous seduction analogizing her late husband’s surreptitious extra-marital affairs. Helen Alving is a woman of education and woman of refinement despite a microcosm of absurdity, vulgarity, coarseness, egotism and debauchery. She nonetheless harbours courtesy and dignity while adjusting towards transcendence.
Despite Eurocentric male dominated patriarchal cosmos, Mrs. Alving transcends gender barriers of race and class through salvaging familial relationships. Her resolution to preserve the sanctity of the father son relationship is a marvelous throwback to severe father son conflict in nuclear families. Mrs. Helen’s abominable husband’s crestfallen lechery should not be revealed in the microcosmic world, so she disguises a stance of absolute blissful marital alliance and deports her son Oswald with scholarship abroad. Mrs. Alving endeavours painstakingly to protecting Oswald from a poisoned home life. This joyful illusion is furthered by the authority and decree of Pastor Manders’ acquaintanceship as foreshadowed by deemphasizing of lurking hidden past ghostly events.
Investigative series of a speculative fiction and detective literature, drama of contemporary life is portrayed by Henrik Ibsen in the Ghosts’ through Mrs. Helen Alving’s excruciating quest for self-fulfillment. Mrs. Alving’s heroic endeavour to establish orphanage in the legacy of her late husband is lost in the flames and burnt down to cinders, alluding to the literal and figurative bursting of spilled beans. Helen Alving’s abolishment of her abhorrent husband’s scandals through redemptive establishment thus becomes awry. Her family heirloom is relinquished of the life giving force because of the hereditary sexually transmitted diseases morbidity. Corruption and pollution afterall haunts as a cascade of infernal torment for all that eventually compels Mrs. Helen Alving with a sadomasochistic dilemma in administering overdose of morphines to end Oswald’s intolerable nightmarish macabre. The poltergeist soul of Captain Alving resurrects with a vengeance to haunt Mrs. Helen Alving in the alter ego Oswald she reckons, has vouchsafed from the truth.
“Ibsen’s Ghosts shares a problem with many contemporary naturalistic plays; it has some, but very little relevance in our world today.” Do you agree? Support your answer with an analysis of the treatment of any two issues in the play.
Or
(Middle aged couple and a younger man in a suit on stage)
“All your life you’ve been governed by an incorrigible spirit of wilfulness. Instinctively you’ve been drawn to all that’s undisciplined and lawless.” Critically explain the commentary of the speaker.
Henrik Ibsen’s modern European realistic problem play drama Gengangere or The Revenants (The Ones Who Return) is a satirical tragedy of contemporary nineteenth century Denmark and Norway’s “events that repeats themselves” concerning religion and morality, adultery and profligacy, incest and euthanasia and venereal epidemiological ramifications. The Ghosts is a firestorm of public outcry because of a controversial forbidden storyline of venereal diseases and syphilis infestation associated with unbridled lovemaking in debauchery and promiscuity.
Henrik Ibsen vindicates the crusade for unravelling a swashbuckler within the frontiers of modern western dramaturgical tradition and thus Ibsenites preoccupy themselves in battling hackneyed ideologies of the malevolent taboos propagated by orthodoxical society. None of the transformative radical policies of modern healthcare and medicine of the then controversially stigmatized sexually transmitted diseases were prevailingly conferred upon the vulnerable including Captain Alving and Oswald Alving. As a consequence, continental citizenry of the civilized world considered kindling fires on the syphilis affected patients even from their funeral pyres. Harrowing and heart wrenching sadomasochism trembles the innocent characters Mrs. Helen Alving and Pastor Manders analogous of Shakespeare’s shuddering in Macbeth and in Lady Macbeth’s taint of scandal.
Mrs. Helen Alving’s upbraiding for unfulfillment of cuckolding with Pastor Manders; her upbraiding of mismarriage adjustment with the dissolute husband Captain Alving; her upbraiding of the incestuous sibling lust bonding brimming between Oswald and Regina are realistically depicted as dysfunctional family relationships in contemporary patriarchal and misogynistic cultural Eurocentric ideology. “The sins of the fathers are visited on his children” extrapolates the trajectory of hereditary sexually transmitted diseases passed down from ancestral generation to the descendant generation as ushered in the polemic statement by Oswald. Captain Alving bequeathed the legacy of debauchery and dissolution to his heir, Oswald. Oswald’s frozen heart and stricken soul cannot idolize spatiotemporality of phenomenal mirocosmic boudoir offered at the expense of “my mind has broken down—-gone to pieces—-I shall never be able to work anymore!” Dreaded malady of the twilight of the brain is envisioned by such suicidal rhetorics of the son under the mother’s upbringing as expostulated in the remarks: “I, who gave you life” … “A nice kind of life it was that you gave me, and now you shall have it back again.”
