WELCOME
TO
OUR POETRY ARCHIVE
As we are working in the literary field with poetry, it is our way of
expression to disclose our emotions and sympathies with others. Poetry without
sympathy can never touch human souls with emotion. Poetry without emotion can
never move human souls with sympathy. Yet only the emotional poetry may bore us
soon. So to preserve the emotions with sympathy in expressing poetic talents
requires great skill. If only we can master this skill only then we can be able
to reach more hearts with our poetical creative brilliances. And even this
skill requires deep philosophical insights with spiritual realizations of
eternity. Only then a poet can reach to a greater audience. These thoughts were
behind our minds before we embarked upon the project of bringing the fourth OPA
Anthology. So our main objective of the Anthology was to bring out one
representative collection of creative brilliances around the world regarding
the spiritual realizations and the philosophy of spirituality as perceived by the
contemporary poets of the present time. We did our best to make it
representative and referential one.
After the successful publication of the OPA Anthology of Spiritual
Poetry ‘Beyond Borders’, we are back with our regular monthly issues. We would
like to thank all the participators of ‘Beyond Borders’ from the entire
editorial desk of Our Poetry Archive. Our readers would know, that every year
we are publishing one Anthology based upon one particular topic or subject. To
our surprise we are blessed with the vast number of contributions from the
participators all over the world. This is really an amazing achievement for us
especially during this very short period of web publishing. We would also like
to thank all our friends for their kind support and participations helping OPA
in every respect. Even we are happy to announce that the number of readers is
also increasing day by day. The total number of page views has now crossed
500000 marks, including the page views of the Anthologies published by OPA so far.
At the beginning of our journey our mission was to build up one
international platform where readers can find out different literary cultures
and traditions in one place. We thought it will help us to understand different
voices around the world, which may one day bring harmony among mutual
differences. Yes we still believe this is one of the useful gateways to
cover-up the tensions among different nations and nationalities. People will
one day come to understand that we are actually equal among all the
inequalities, which makes the human civilized. We believe our civilization
requires these human steps especially at this present time of political and
social turmoil around the world. Yes at first it may sound to some extent a
Utopian idea that poetry can bring harmony among mutual difference leading to
ease out the socio political tensions around. Yes, it is not at all an easy
task, nor even can be achieved in our lifetime. Yet we can only start the
journey. Let’s see what can we do ourselves and how far can we proceed
collectively. We still believe that as poets and thinkers writers and creative
artists alike it is also our responsibilities to proceed along this line of
vision. And to our surprise we have won many friends along this collective
journey so far. Yes, this is just the beginning and the road is long ahead. We
hope more and more responsible world citizens also will join with us in this
long march of Poetical Revolution to make this world a peaceful and harmonious
abode for humanity.
With this hope, here we are again with this present number of ‘Our
Poetry Archive: August 2018 Volume Four Number Five.’ This is a general issue
and we are glad to introduce twelve new poets to our regular readers in this
number. We hope readers will also enjoy their talents along with others’ poems.
This month our Poet of the Month is poet Margaret O’Driscoll of United States.
Readers will find her interview with our editorial panel much interesting. Our
heartfelt thank goes to the poetess for her acceptance of our invitation.
We would also like to request our readers and poets alike, to introduce
Our Poetry Archive to their friends and relatives who love the music of
poetry. Anyone who wants to showcase his
or her literary talents internationally is also most welcome to OPA. Any
talented poet can send at least 3 poems and one current profile picture along
with the explicit confirmation of the permission to publish his or her
copyrighted materials in OPA. Our mail address is ourpoetryarchive@gmail.com
