There is no doubt that Poetry “opens the door which leads to the soul” (Henry Miller). P.B. Shelley in his immortal essay A Defence of Poetry aptly remarks that future generations always appreciate excellent poetry: “In the infancy of the world, neither poets themselves nor their auditors are fully aware of the excellence of poetry: for it acts in a divine and unapprehended manner, beyond and above consciousness; and it is reserved for future generations to contemplate and measure the mighty cause and effect in all the strength and splendor of their union.”
Hearty Congratulations to Chinese author Mo Yan who has been awarded the 2012 Nobel prize for literature. He is the first Chinese writer ever to win the Nobel prize in literature. The Swedish Academy acclaimed his works for merging folk tales with “hallucinatory realism”. Mo Yan aptly remarks: “Some may want to shout on the street, but we should tolerate those who hide in their rooms and use literature to voice their opinions.”

Welcome to Taj Mahal Review June 2012! This issue includes poems, short stories, literary criticism, book reviews, artwork by international artists, and many other interesting features. I hope this massive collection of poems and short stories will reach a worldwide audience. This well-planned and meticulous publication extends the hand of friendship in the true spirit, across the continents. 
Our aim is to promote contemporary creative writing and artwork for Peace and Brotherhood across diverse nations. I have included several new authors, lesser known and also absolutely unknown writers for this June issue. The creative artists whose works appear in this edition are selected because of their fresh and true ideas. 
It will be very good if we refrain from irreverent criticism of authors. John Keats (1795-1821), one of the greatest Romantic poets who is often compared with Shakespeare due to his phrases charged with a great intensity of imagination, was vehemently criticized by John Gibson Lockhart in Blackwoods Magazine: “The phrenzy of the “Poems” was bad enough in its way; but it did not alarm us half so seriously as the calm, settled, imperturbable drivelling idiocy of Endymion.” 
This vituperative and utterly irreverent criticism was quite unjustified. We should not forget that Keats wrote some of the greatest odes, comparable to nothing except Shakespeare’s greatest poetry . One example is the concluding lines of Ode on a Grecian Urn” ‘Beauty is truth, truth beauty’ - that is all / you know on earth, and all ye need to know”. Keats is a Shakespearean poet due to his ‘negative capability’. I would be failing in my duty if I don’t express my sincere gratitude to all creative artists and poets included in this edition. The truth is that without their generous support and kind help this publication would never have been possible. Many many thanks again for their kind cooperation.

This issue not only includes some of the most admirable poems by the contemporary writers, but also haiku, short stories, art work, book reviews, articles about literature and, self improvement, immortal quotes, startling literary facts, and many other interesting features. Hope you might like this latest edition of Taj Mahal Review.While including haiku, I have tried my best to include such haiku that don't blindly adhere to the 5-7-5 pattern. Ban'ya Natsuishi, the greatest modern haiku poet, aptly says that muki haiku and non-seasonal poems reveal a new style of expression in contemporary haiku.
It was a day of great joy when Doc Drumheller from New Zealand visited my residence. I along with Karunesh Kumar Agrawal met him for the first time in 2009 in the 5th World Haiku Association Conference and The Druskininkai Poetic Fall in Lithuania, where he became the New Zealand Ambassador to the Republic of Uzupis. It was a proud moment for me to release his latest haiku collection In Transit. He is a marvelous poet and an extraordinary creative artist. He recited some of his best haiku at Cyberwit office. We discussed about the increasing popularity of the haiku genre.
I am highly thankful to my well-wishers and friends who provided me their full cooperation and help to bring out Dec. 2011 issue of Taj Mahal Review. I am quite grateful to all poets, haiku writers and creative artists included in this latest issue for their warm support and help. This issue would not have been possible without their kind cooperation. 

Taj Mahal Review represents quality and variety. This issue includes a comprehensive selection of most remarkable artwork, poems, haiku, short stories, book reviews, literary criticism. Taj features distinctive voice of creative artists across the globe. Our mission is toward the promotion of creative writings world-wide. The very best poems, haiku and short stories add to our insight into so many cultures from so many voices. 
Osama Bin Laden is dead, as the US forces launched a unilateral attack inside Abbottabad in Pakistan. It is very sad that Al-Qaeda has pledged to attack Western targets. The whole world is still haunted by tragic 9/11 when the twin towers fell, and more than three thousand innocent people died. The brutality and stupidity of terrorism confirms contemporary barbarism. The authors should advocate peace to make our planet better. Blessed are the peacemakers. Paradise is here, if “the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid” ( Issaih XI, 6).
Barth’s essay “The Literature of Exhaustion” reveals that there is nothing left for the contemporary author to inspire. That is why several postmodern writers indulge in parody of their great predecessors. I am very grateful to all artists included in this issue for their kind support and cooperation. Many thanks again to these creative artists for their generous help in bringing out this edition.

Taj Mahal Review December 2010 issue includes poems, haiku, short stories, artwork, book reviews and several other regular features such as literary facts, immortal sayings  etc. I have been receiving a very large number of articles, poems and short stories for publication in the Taj.  It is not possible to include all authors. But just how is the responsibility of choosing the best writings to be fulfilled?
I try to find out if the author is aware of the latest trends in creative writing? That is why one would notice that some of the artists are influenced by Dada movement.  Dada in literature and paintings is a plea for abolishing logic. Tristan Tzara aptly comments that Dada is "absolute and unquestionable faith in every god that is the immediate product of spontaneity:  elegant and unprejudiced leap from a harmony to the other sphere; trajectory of a word tossed like a screeching phonograph record; to respect all individuals in their folly of the moment."

TMR June 2010 is a multicultural journal, a truly independent journal devoted to traditional and nontraditional poetry. One of the world’s most significant literary journal TMR promotes and focuses on the best creative writing and art. No doubt, it is a source of powerful, new voices. I hope the emerging authors and visual artists published in this issue of TMR will have a powerful impact on the contemporary world of creative artists both nationally and internationally. Taj Mahal Review will continue to have enormous impact because it includes some of the best art, poems and haiku, short stories, book review, interview, Quotable Quotes, interesting literary facts and Quiz, bio of each creative artist included in this issue. The range of its contents is quite impressive.
