From
The Editor
I
have pleasure in presenting the June 2007 issue of
Taj Mahal Review. This issue features most remarkable Artwork by international
artists, Poems, Short Stories,
Literary Criticism,
Interview, Book Review and more.
There is a
separate section for Haiku,
the smallest literary
form that originated in
Japan
in the 17th century. Due to difference
in the syllable structure of English language,
5-7-5 format should not be mandatory.
The
authors whose writings appear in Taj are selected
because of their heightened sensibilities as well
as their fuller understanding of the postmodern
period. The poems and short stories included in
this issue reveal the author's response towards
our unfortunate times dominated by the murderous
and plundering forces. The innocent are knocked to
pieces, and strangled. But these unpoetic-seeming
things can be material for poetry. The ugliness,
squalor and horror of the modern age was a new
kind of material for Joyce's
Ulysses and Eliot's The
Waste Land. Stephen Spender aptly says in his World
Within World that the poet "instead of
having to set himself apart from his time, could
create out of an acceptance of it." For example,
several poets selected in this volume have adapted
their urban sensibility, with undertones of tedium
and fugitive sense-impressions mingled with ironic
commentary.
I
felt extreme suffering when a gunman killed 33
people in
Virginia
Tech
University
(April 16, 2007). The whole world was horrified by
the school shootouts. Our beloved earth is
groaning under these unbelievable peaks of violence: "Now days are dragon-ridden,
the nightmare / Rides upon sleep" (Yeats). I
mourn with the parents of the deceased students.
May god rest all the souls in peace.
My
heart is full of gratitude to all the authors
whose help and kindness greatly inspire me in this
work of editing and selecting. I look forward to
receiving your cooperation in the future issues of
Taj and thank you again.
