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. Happy New Year. Best Wishes...
