EDITORS COMMENTS

"Poetry: A Journey Through Time and Imagination" Step into the world of poetry, where words dance on the page like graceful ballerinas. This captivating poster showcases the power of verse, inviting you to explore its depths. In the enchanting night mail, letters whisper secrets as they travel through moonlit landscapes. Just like Dante in his Divine Comedy, we are led by Beatrice into a heavenly realm adorned with angels and souls forming a celestial rose. "I am half sick of shadows, " declares John William Waterhouse's haunting artwork. Poetry delves deep into our emotions, unearthing hidden truths that lie beneath the surface. Goblin Market by Pauline Baynes takes us on a fantastical journey where temptation lurks at every corner. Like Dante Alighieri himself, we encounter our beloved muses who inspire us to create masterpieces with their ethereal presence. The Boxer portrait captures raw emotion frozen in time - an art form akin to poetry itself. And Kuindzhi's Moonlit Night on the Dniepr paints a scene so vivid that it feels like stanzas come alive before our eyes. "The Song of the Mad Prince" echoes through Harry Clarke's mesmerizing illustration, reminding us that madness can birth extraordinary creativity. As Claude Monet's Sunset on the Seine at Lavacourt casts its warm glow upon icy waters, we witness nature's poetic symphony unfold. Robin Redbreast perches delicately amidst branches - a symbol of hope and renewal found within verses penned by poets throughout history. And in Waterhouse's portrayal of a mermaid emerging from turbulent waves, we glimpse how they are transport us to mythical realms beyond imagination. Poetry is more than just words; it is an expression of human experience woven together with threads of beauty and meaning. It transcends time and space, touching hearts across generations.
