WELCOME
TO
OUR POETRY ARCHIVE
In spite of our constant effort to provide our readers with quality
materials, it is really a difficult task to maintain the high standard of literary
brilliance with every publication. Yet our effort will remain relentless in all
the upcoming issues to maintain the literary quality. We therefore request our
regular contributors to send us only their best creative excellences so that in
the mind of our readers their poems will reign supreme. It’ll also make their
poetry more famous worldwide.
Actually poetry brings different souls closer to each other. They touch
the inner cords of the hearts and can create a symphony of human souls dancing
with the tune of the eternity. We at Our Poetry Archive really do believe this
from our heart. All our efforts always remain along with this direction only. Yes,
we have come along more than three years across this path to bring different
cultural traditions and literary heritages more and more close to each other.
We hope our mission will pick-up to the next gear in the upcoming years with
the constant support and contributions of our poets and readers around the
world.
Language communicates with people and time, nature and soul. The forms
may differ but the essence remains the same and powerful if the creator can
express his or her talent with proper dignity and elegance. And poetry is one
of the best medium for this purpose. The primary obligation of a poet is to
communicate with her inner self. To broaden the canvas of his or her vision as
well as feelings for both the life as a conscious being and people and time in
general. Poetry is born If and only if one can achieve this.
Some would like to argue about this primary obligation of a poet, saying
that the true goal of poetry or literature or any form of art in general is to
save mankind from the demons of ego, pride and the greed to rule over others to
gain more and more power. We wouldn’t like to argue with their views with
counter arguments, but what we would try to emphasize is that one can go
forward to fulfill these obligations only when one can establish a self
identity communicating with his or her inner self.
To establish this self-identity is really vital especially for a poet if
he or she really wants to communicate with a wider audience across geographical
locations and time. Only then he or she can make an impression in literary
history without which nobody can fulfill that true obligation of an artist –
that of saving mankind as many people demand from a poet. And this establishing
of self-identity is actually spiritual in essence. Where, the poet can find
himself within his inner soul as well as along with the Universal Soul. Yes
both in tandem. We can call this the spiritual cultivating of poetry.
Keeping in mind, this July we are also pleased to announce in advance to
our readers, that this year also Our Poetry Archive is bringing another grand
Anthology like all the previous years. This time we’ll publish OPA Anthology Of
Spiritual Poetry-‘Beyond Borders’. Our readers are well aware that we have
already published three Anthologies in the first three years of our web
publishing. We have published OPA Anthology of Peace Poetry Against Terrorism.
Which was followed by OPA Anthology of Poetry Against Racism. And last year we
have published OPA Anthology of Contemporary Women Poets. So we thought that
this time we can work on spirituality to extend our knowledge and experiences
about life eternal and even beyond the known world in accordance with the
Universal Soul. To our surprise a large number of poets around the world both known and previously unknown to us had
participated in this Anthology with lot of enthusiasm. We hope like the
previous Anthologies this upcoming one will also win our readers’ attention
greatly.
