Kaleidoscope-Anthology of International Poets

Kaleidoscope is an optical device consisting of mirrors that reflect images of bits of coloured glass in a symmetrical geometric design through a viewer. The design may be changed endlessly by rotating the section containing the loose fragments. The name is derived from the Greek words kalos ("beautiful"),eïdos("form"), and skopeïn ("to view").The kaleidoscope was invented by Sir David Brewster in 1817.

Poets have expressed their thoughts through poetic language to express the colours of life in our book "Kaleidoscope an anthology of International Poets."

Kaleidoscope Anthology of International Poets is dedicated to Rabindranath Tagore First Asian Nobel Prize Winner for his unique poetry book-:Gitanjali' in 1913

I had the pleasure of deciding upon the title of this Anthology, which clearly indicates the diverse patterns of lyricism in all its innovative fluidity as well as in radical idiomatic structures signifying our present day existence and innovative styles of poetic composition. It is tragic that today we live in a conflict-ridden world of increasing greed, materialism, consumerist and militaristic depredations. Poetry hence remains that intrinsic, scintillating spark and Rhapsody of Life that keeps us going with its rejuvenating energy. Poetry is, indisputably, the genesis of all literary expressions through the ages, since the birth of ancient civilizations. It is the first language of humanity which has always offered us the strength and lilting sensitivity to live, challenge, satiate, understand and tranquillize. Poetry is that inspirational fire which makes us imbibe the quintessential force mobilizing us towards the goodness of life, humanity and the urgent goal of peace and universal brotherhood.

Keeping these values in mind and significant aspects of life intact, we decided upon three primary themes for poetic compositions to be included in this anthology--- viz. (a) Love or Romantic poems, (b) Nature poems and (c) Contemporary perspectives, issues and experiences. Hence it is natural that a large area of varied themes have been covered, included and integrated in this Collection of Poetry from across different geo-spaces, cultures and ethnicities which render the rainbow hues of a highly layered and rich pluralism in this poetic text. The thematic, conceptual and idiomatic components offered by various poets make it interesting, profound and thought-provoking for the reader.

The varied phraseology, diction, thought-processes, prosodic tools of enrichment from this array of poets makes this Anthology truly kaleidoscopic. Wishing our readers Happy Reading with further discussions and consequent intensive engagement.

I hope all the poems written by renowned International Poets will win the heart of poetry lovers around the world.
