VOICES OF TORMENT & HOPE Poems from Across the Globe
The torment of love and life—pain and emptiness felt—and that ray of light called hope—these are timeless themes written about in poems, stories, essays, and novels. All these make up the essential feelings that stir up a human being’s heart and soul throughout his or her lifelong existence. To feel these will be to feel one’s own humanity. To express these through any literary genre will be to put a voice to the reflections etched in one’s soul or to the memories stored in the mind as humans go through life’s journey. There are voices of torment and there are also voices of hope. The poems in this book are voices telling different images of how life treats humans, and what humans may hang on to for survival in this life and beyond, as penned by authors from different corners of the globe. They are also voices from beyond what is in this world.
