Happy New Year. Hope the New Year 2024 brings peace and joy in the world. I have tried my best to include in the latest issue of TMR only those contemporary poems which express the inner heart and deep secrets of mind. Whatever we may think of the great importance of science and technology, we cannot deny the vital role of poetry inspiring the people. No doubt, all poetry lovers will appreciate the following lines about the exploited workers of England by P. B. Shelley showing the poet's widening sympathy for the poorest people:
The seed ye sow, another reaps;
The wealth ye find, another keeps;
The robes ye weave, another wears;
The arms ye forge; another bears.
Sow seed,—but let no tyrant reap;
Find wealth,—let no impostor heap;
Weave robes,—let not the idle wear;
Forge arms,—in your defence to bear.
The Nobel Prize in Literature 2023 to Jon Fosse, was presented by Mats Malm, Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy, on 5 October 2023. Congratulations to Jon Fosse, the Norwegian author, famous for 'his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable." It is my humble duty to express my gratitude to the authors published in this edition of TMR. Without their kind support and cooperation, it is not possible to publish this issue of the international journal TMR. Best Wishes to all creative artists and authors. Happy New Year 2024!
Best Wishes
