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.
