Our Silver Jubilee Binder

In the very opening annals of our message, we convey our
thanks to all dear poets, readers, models and artists who have
been participating in our projects on different themes but one
concept of pictorial poetry/prose/fiction. They have made our
works beautiful and enjoyed the grace of their pictorial poetry
compositions. This concept of pictorial poetry has totally
changed the shape and definition of poetry. Earlier the poetry
books were kept in racks of Libraries but pictorial poetry
anthologies have come out to be on the coffee tables. Now they
have reached to hotels rooms, restaurants, public libraries,
meeting places and so many other venues. This concept
has widened its scope with which we can organize pictorial
poetry exhibition. Last year we happened to launch a
pictorial poetry exhibition first in the world at Kathmandu,
Nepal from 20th to 27th April 2019.It was highly successful
and achieved "Golden Book of World Records".
We feel proud in bringing out our 25th coffee table anthology
GEMS which is in your hands now as our Silver Jubilee Edition
in a mega size and thick paper. It is being launched by our
international group, World Pictorial Poetry & Art Forum©
and its 33 branches in the world. We have put our sincere
efforts to make a smart compilation of art and poetry where in
80 poems from 40 fellow poets along with their pictures and
biodata and 80 HD Pictures matching the poems are involved.
These pictures have been downloaded from Pixabay.com,
pexel.com and are of our eve models. We are thankful to
picture download sites and our models with which we could
make a beautiful pictorial poetry binder. Once again, we repeat
our words on a universal truth that reads, "Pictures,
Sometimes though being silent speak much more than words,
lines and poems do".In our opinion this combination of
pictorial poetry works as if they were soul and a body. While
going through the history of pictoria poesy or pictorial poetry
it has been found that the "poet is an artist first." Also it has
been described that ''Ut pictura poesis" is a Latin phrase,
literally meaning "as is painting so is poetry". Some centuries
ago, Simonides of Keos (c. 556- 468 BC) had stated, ''Poem
a pictura loquens & pictura poema silens," which translates
into English as "Poetry is a speaking picture &painting is a
silent poetry." It will not a wrong statement if we say, ''Poet is an
artist of words, of feelings and of thoughts who paints in one's
heart; Without making it cry, without letting it bleed. Here we
are of the opinion that Poem is a feel framed in thoughtful
words. Please submit your review for our future
improvements.
