Charlie Knowlton
  • From the small town of Hampden, Massachusetts, to his camp in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, Charlie Knowlton`s poetry fills the reader with imagery and feelings with humor in so very few words. Clever and quirky, such as his "Obituary of a moth," to his very first poem "Michelle`s cat Smiddy," a true story, his writing is both original and entertaining. In this his first book, "The words you put down will be magic," he begins by taking you through the feel of New England`s change of seasons and short stories, to romance, and finally to his 3 line haiku and senryu poems of nature and the behavior of people as humans, their pets, and the everyday sights around us... Easy to digest and relate to, here`s hoping you enjoy.
 
Charlotte Cederblom
  • Charlotte was born 1968 in a doctor's family, where music and culture had a big place in daily life. So much so that when Charlotte was eleven years old, she and her best friend played ”poets” and wrote down reflections that were important to them. At such an occasion, Charlotte had some kind of revelation, realising that poetry took her very close to the absolute truth she was seeking. She also studied the violin, and became one of the most appreciated violinists in the baroque genre, playing the violin in a way that you could hear the words behind the notes. She also finished an education in sculptural art. Her mindset has been to : Express whatever can be expressed.
    You do not become an artist doing what you are told. That means a life constantly questioning every stereotype in society without compromise. In her forties, she suffered a stroke, rendering her into a coma, and later into a wheelchair. With the violin, painting and dance, she has taken back balance and mobility, and is presently working with ceramics. The essence of this small collection of poems reflects a young artist's unwillingness to adjust to a world, built on compromises. Her truth is hidden in the poems.

Chirag Tulsiani
  • Thoughts unless expressed are only known to you; the individual. One must realize that when nothing goes your way, when nothing is by your side, your thoughts still are. And when these thoughts take the shape of words, a book is born. Each story of this book has a different fragrance in its atmosphere. It is on account of the variety and the overall hue that I have named this book ‘Air’. And I sincerely hope that after reading the last line of the twenty third story the readers, close this book with a rainbow of thoughts and consider to be benefited than being left claustrophobic and seen gasping for some fresh ‘air’.
