And I presume, Trouvaille will play this type of role effectively.The present world is giving lip service to the very idea of social and environmental justice and profit in lieu of any cost has become the norm. Hence we are required to sing our songs in the face of all varieties of hurdles that threaten our very living , to guard ourselves against the evil forces of parochialism and intolerance. As all of us know, poetry by itself cannot change the world, but can create an ambience for dialogue on the lines of that change by hammering on our human instincts like values of compassion, empathy, camaraderie and shared common humanitarian goals.It is considered one among the basic and towering defense against our ill fate and misdeeds.Albeit chaos of all sorts, a gloomy atmosphere, poetry has the guts to rejuvenate the human soul .Leonardo da Vinci once said, painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.Our wishful readers, I can bet, will embark on a journey of aesthetic feelings while going through virgin pages of , Trouvaille. This is our humble initiative to enjoin broken hearts of humanity, to ensure bridging of different cultures and uniting nations through words , thereby paving the way for cross cultural diversity. The voice of poets included in this poetry anthology will help to transform earthly lies into meaningful aphorisms.I am optimistic that this book will become one of the most acclaimed means to bring us out of the global problems.Hope the readers will find this book very much fascinating and valuable in spreading the gospels of humanity through out our planet.After taking a holy dip in this confluence of divine poetic thoughts camouflaged as brooks , they will bring back home only serenity for sure.I am sure,Trouvaille, the edited poetry anthology will be considered as a lucky find for our beloved readers and they will treat it as their trusted companion for ever.
