The December 2016 issue of Taj Mahal Review features some of the best contemporary  poets across the globe, richly gifted with profound imagination  by the international  poets. This edition exhilarating in its range also features short stories, haiku by the international poets,  artwork, book reviews and many other attractive features. We receive an increasingly large number of poems, short stories and haiku from across the country, and around the world. I have attempted to select and publish only valuable writings. I trust that you will enjoy these poems, short stories and haiku. The most important basis for publishing the international artists in the Taj Mahal Review is the quality of their work exploring the overall reality of human experience, powerful enough to shape our imagination. This is of great help in enhancing the reputation and prestige of the journal in literary circles. 
It is necessary to know that all great poems reveal  the inner life of the mind. “Poetry’s uniqueness stems from the fact that the subject and the object of poetry, the medium and the message, are one and the same. Unlike painting or sculpture, poetry can deal with any and every topic in any and every fashion because in the final analysis what poetry really expresses is the mind’s apprehension of itself to itself in itself” (Jan Mieszkowski).
Congratulations to Bob Dylan for receiving the 2016 Nobel prize for literature. He is quite famous for “having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”.
It is a pleasure to acknowledge that my heart is filled with gratitude to all  creative artists included in this issue for their invaluable help and cooperation in editing this edition of the Taj Mahal Review.

The June 2016 issue of TMR includes some of the best modern and postmodern poems by the  poets across the globe..  This edition exhilarating in its range also features short stories, haiku by the international poets, artwork, book reviews and many other attractive features. We receive an increasingly large number of poems, short stories and haiku from across the country, and around the world. The most important basis for publishing the international artists in the Taj Mahal Review is the quality of their work powerful enough to shape our imagination.

 Edith Sitwell (1887-1964) aptly remarks: “Let us speak of our madness. We are always being called mad. If we are mad — we and our brothers in America who are walking hand in hand with us in the vanguard of progress — at least we are mad in company with most of our great predecessors and all the most intelligent foreigners. Beethoven, Schumann, Wagner, Shelley, Blake, Keats, Coleridge, Wordsworth were all mad in turn. We shall be proud to join them in the Asylum to which they are now consigned”. 
The fact is that the poetic madness means divine frenzy. The poet is often overwhelmed by an innermost voice and inspired by the vision created by the romantic imagination. Shakespeare says: “THE LUNATIC, the lover, and the poet/ Are of imagination all compact.” This becomes quite apparent in the poem “Kubla Khan” by S.T. Coleridge.

Happy New Year. I pray to the Almighty Lord the New Year 2016 brings joy, peace and prosperity in the world.  I am highly grateful to all poets, short story writers and creative artists included in this latest issue of Taj Mahal Review. This Dec 2015 issue is an attempt to select the best of contemporary world poetry, haiku, book reviews and several other attractive features. No doubt, reading, composing, and enjoying poetry is a great past time. Wallace Stevens aptly says that a poet is “a metaphysician in the dark” and his poem “the act of the mind.” But he further adds that the poem must 
Be the finding of a satisfaction, and may
Be of a man skating, a woman dancing, a woman
Combing.
Svetlana Alexievich wins 2015 Nobel prize in literature. Swedish Academy admired Belarusian writer’s work ‘for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering in our time’. Warmest congratulations Svetlana Alexievich. I express my gratitude and  thanks to all artists and poets included in this edition. There is no doubt that without their cooperation and genuine help it is not possible to publish TMR Dec 2015. 

The June 2015 issue of TMR features some of the best contemporary poems by the international poets.  This edition also includes short stories, haiku by the poets across the globe, artwork, book reviews and many other attractive features. We receive an increasingly large number of poems from across the country, and around the world. The most important criteria for publishing the international artists in the Taj Mahal Review is the quality of their work. This is of great help in increasing the reputation of the journal in literary circles. 
Great poets all over the world  always try to transmute their pains and sufferings into the great vision of love and brotherhood. Søren Kierkegaard aptly remarks: “A poet is an unhappy being whose heart is torn by secret sufferings, but whose lips are so strangely formed that when the sighs and the cries escape them, they sound like beautiful music  and then people crowd about the poet and say to him: “Sing for us soon again”.
The fact is that the sufferings and “the unalleviated anguish of the marrow” should never be considered as the poet’s weakness. T.S. Eliot made the most appropriate comment about Pascal that his despair and disillusion are “the analogue of the drought, the dark night, which is an essential stage in the progress of the Christian mystic”. 
I am quite grateful to all the creative artists who submitted their fiction, nonfiction, and original artwork for publication  in this latest  issue of  the biannual journal Taj Mahal Review. Many thanks for your tremendous support and cooperation. 

Happy New Year. I wish the New Year brings joy, peace and prosperity in the world. I am full of deep gratitude to all poets and creative artists included in this latest issue of Taj Mahal Review. In this Dec 2014 issue I have done my utmost to include brilliant contemporary artwork, modern and postmodern poems, haiku, book reviews and many other attractive features. No doubt, Poetry is more than “the spontaneous outflow of powerful feelings.” Allen Ginsberg aptly remarks: “Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private.”
Congratulations to French novelist Patrick Modiano for receiving the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature. His writings reveal “the art of memory with which he has evoked the most ungraspable human destinies.” Modiano, 69, is the author of more than two dozen books and several screenplays. The 11th Literature laureate born in France, Modiano is also the recipient of the Grand prix du roman de l’Académie française, the Prix Goncourt, the Prix mondial Cino Del Duca and the Austrian State Prize for European Literature.
I express my sincere thanks to all artists and authors included in this edition. I also acknowledge with thanks the significant support from these creative artists and seek their continued help in the days ahead. My New Year Greetings again for you and your family members.

Welcome to Taj Mahal Review June 2014!  No doubt,  the TMR  for several years  has tried its best to promote  contemporary creative poets and artists. This issue includes poems, haiku, short stories and artwork by both famous and  unknown  creative artists across the globe. I have always endeavored  to select  for TMR only those poems that reveal the poet’s passion for Truth and Beauty in an impassioned language.  
Some of the poems included in this issue reveal  poststructural attitude. We all know that structuralism was based on the main premise that the structure of human world can be well understood by the structure of language. But during 1960s, the post structural authors,  philosophers raised doubts about the validity of the language itself to unravel the mysteries and obstinate questionings about our universe. Foucalt aptly remarked that god was crumbling under our feet. The fact is that The poststructural authors are attracted by themes like Marxism, feminism, Nihilism and anarchism.
It is very sad to know that  two Nobel  Laureates died  recently.  Doris Lessing, the British Nobel Laureate, famous  for her immortal works “The Golden Notebook” and “The Grass is Singing”,  died aged 94 on November 17, 2013.  Her works are imperishable  due to “skepticism, fire and visionary power.” Another tragedy occurred as the Colombian Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez, one of the greatest and unique contemporary writers, passed away on April 17, 2014 at the age of 87.  His most famous  novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude” (1967) sold more than 50 million copies in more than 25 languages. He always felt that being awarded Nobel prize would be a catastrophe because his private life would be severely invaded. I along with Karunesh Agarwal and Cyberwit staff express my deep condolence at this great loss to their families. 
I am highly indebted to all creative artists and poets included in this edition of TMR.  The fact is that without their generous support and kind cooperation this  publication would never have been possible. Many sincere thanks again for their kind help.
