Writing poetry is like a beloved grove of poesy with several entrances where one's psyche reaches through fanciful imagination for fulfillment and complacence. Across the Seas is an omnibus of lucid, picturesque and sensible poetic pieces of 41 esteemed poets as representative of 27 countries through their distinct, groovy and artistic ink crossing the waters and bridging the gaps to ensure harmony and peace in cosmos. The volume is symbolic as a universe of myriad diversities or a galaxy full of shimmering stars due to the representation of numerous themes to increase sensitivity and stimulate the hearts including war, peace, harmony, brotherhood, nature, humanity and right of equality beyond all borders. About the Author: Shalini Yadav is a creative soul, philanthropic and Professor of English whose spirit-appeasing habit of crossing hyphenated borders of realism-surrealism, led her to edit an anthology of iridescent star poets who are also into the practice of crossing the borders and bridging the waters as ambassador of peace and harmony via their verses.Her former cherished poetry collections, Till the End of Her Subsistence (2013) and Kinship With You (2014) have been emblematic for unheard expressions of women being liberated from the shackles. In Floating Haiku (2015), she outpoured pellucid feelings of her flights in an attire of majestic nature woven with human sentiments. As a poet she has journeyed ahead like a drifter to soar high and swim deep with mystic and material conflict of inner psyche hoping that her readers will also be stirred rhythmically with swings of blues and bliss.
