A distinctive feature of this 4th book of the 'Poetic Fantasies' series is its thematic diversity: it is a sort of 'zibaldone' of thoughts and feelings, made up of 3 different sections -poems written for the occasion, translations from Urdu of ancient ghazals, and a short story. "Love & Passion", a theme most explored and widely popular, rightfully finds a place in this anthology; as well as a "contemplation of Life" in its contradictory and even painful aspects.It is an exploration of themes such as freedom and religion, the origin of life and the refusal to accept "old age"; which, together with the concept of "eternal life", reverberates in the classic theme of "life & death", and opens up to the psychological-philosophical theme of "emptiness".Even Nature and the passing of the seasons are described by the various poets with different colors, flows and rhythms, but all paint images that evoke vibrant emotions and deep feelings.Overall, this anthology contains the essential features of good literature. Don't miss out!
