Poetry is a very powerful medium. It invites the reader to stay and sit awhile. It is deeply layered, nuanced, and open to interpretation of all kinds. It is lyrical while allowing the reader to bring their own melody. I enjoy the process of contemplation required in writing poetry almost as much as I enjoy reading others' responses, the same is with all of my team. My hope and utmost desire is that this compilation of poetry, lyrics, and images helps even one other wander lusting life traveller-whether you think you're lost, seeking, or somewhere else on your journey. Very specifically, I want to connect with you if you're looking for encouragement via aesthetics of poetry which we all tried as a beginner. If you feel a tugging on your heart to express more about something, but you're not sure what that something may be, or if you're trying to make sense you've carried for a while but feel disconnected from belief, or if you simply enjoy reading poetry and want to try a varied taste in a book, we were writing this with you in mind. From one perfectly imperfect creation to another, may you find whatever it is you're seeking, and in seeking, may you find peace, recreation, pleasure and happiness in this small work of poetry by our Team. This whole project was initiated with a group of seven eager minds, but the whole work would have been incomplete without the motivation of Sri Thaneshwar Malakar ji, a well-known author and a person well-known to encourage the literature in Assam. His initial review and motivation had a very deep impact in this book reaching the hands of the readers, for he gave the initial spark required to complete this Anthology. And taking his words as blessing, we moved forward.-Bishal on behalf of Team Colossal
