For poet Tran Nhuan Minh, it is not the conflicts which are the center of poetry, but the way through and the way out of those conflicts... In this sense, Tran Nhuan Minh's poetry is a warning and awakening message... it challenges the boundaries between left and right, right and wrong, orthodox and unorthodox, south and north, past and future... Anyday, there are still unhappy people in this world, who need to share their faith and unhappiness… they will still search to read Tran Nhuan Minh’s poems.

Anthology World Contemporary Poets is a collection of contemporary poets of the world published by Prodigy Published, USA, and organized by Poetry and Literature World Vision. Poetry and Literature World Vision was created mainly to promote poetry worldwide on December 4, 2020. At the beginning of our journey, we decided to feature the contemporary poets of the world on our group page and committed to publishing an anthology at a possible time, including the featured poets in volumes 1,2,3+ serially. We successfully featured 275 international poets in this massive program who are mainly reputed online and globally or internationally recognized, awarded or distinguished for their poetic creativity and remarkable contribution to promoting poetry. We can proudly mention that we gathered most of the leading, dominating and inspiring poets from around the globe in our program that was highly appreciated globally. This achievement motivated us to fulfil our commitment to publishing our anthology. In our initial volume, we assembled 162 poets and set them in Latin alphabetically to avoid debate about their poetic status or positional complexity. This anthology will massively introduce them to the poetry-lover world. And world poetry readers will be able to experience poetry's contemporary mood whenever it is willing to break modernism and welcome a new poetic movement called postmodernism. They will find a scope to identify how much traditionalism has been broken and how many traditions have been continued and discontinued, and how much progression has been somehow achieved. At least, could they break some of the traditions and set something new to come out of modernism and welcome postmodernism? Our careful readers should find out about it. World poetry readers will find in what way our contemporary poets are trying to overcome the crises caused by modernism and set a postmodern process in their poetic vision and mission and how they are trying to define poetry. Do they still think of it as an art of aesthetics devoid of spiritual, ethical and social values and how they depict the nature and scope of poetry? Is our contemporary poetry related to humanity, love and peace etc.? We obviously know that a poet is neither an angel nor a devil; he is a human being and he should have a liability to humanity and world peace. Our poetry readers will be able to explore and experience whether our contemporary poets are committed to these universal values in their creative poetry works or whether they are indifferent to them like that of how the modernists defined art, ignoring these values. They will also find what is the stand of contemporary poets against war, violence and aggression along with political unrest, the Covid pandemic situation and economic disasters around the world. How these issues have been portrayed in their poetry also can be found in this global anthology. We are pleased and proud to mention that most of the reputed poets from around the globe have been included in this anthology. But we think there are more. A significant number is still to be added. The remaining should be included in our upcoming volumes.company I would like to express my gratitude to those published poets in this anthology who cordially collaborated with us, providing their submissions. Congratulations to all published poets! Additionally, I would like you all to be acknowledged that we formed a selection board, approval board and editorial board for publishing this anthology duly. All the honorable members of these boards sincerely cooperated with me, providing their valuable time and creative thoughts. Heartiest gratitude to all of them and very special thanks to our editorial secretary Maria Do Sameiro Barroso, together with other co-editors Ewith Bahar, Lidia Popa, Tejaswini Patil Dange, Marija Najthefer Popov and global ambassador Eva Lianou Petropoulou. My heartiest gratitude goes to our editorial advisor, Mr. Zlatan Demirovic, a world-renowned poet and poetic personality of the contemporary world who shouldered all responsibility for publishing this anthology from his publishing house, Prodigy Published, USA. and played a historical role in promoting poetry. May poetry unite the world with its spirit of love, peace and humanity.

From the Editorial Desk

Reading a poetry is a ritual of transcending words in feelings, images in vibrational escrow.

The essence of knowledge is hard to find in books of science, but easily presentable in some simple verses. 

The poetry is the mother of all knowledge. 

That’s what Imen spontaneously feels and performs.

Inhaling these words, excited soul expands to the infinite essence!

Every single verse here is a philosophical mosaic of words colored with emotions and feelings perpetuated to the world as a key for opening a gate of absolute spirit, helping our soul journey to be fulfilled!

Imen is a master of flowering the picture on horizon of her path.

The strongest message of compassion opening the most vigorous allies helping us to connect with the infinite power of nature that is available inside us.

There’s no place for worries, but:

“Indifference is the rust of the soul,

It is like a body with no movement

like a lifeless existence no impulse

towards good no energy against evil numbness a sort of moral death”

I love her poetry, because,

“Two spirits do not meet by accident”

Zlatan Demirović

Idila na individualnom i globalnom planu
Petnaesti oktobar, dvadeset i pet u hladu, vlaga u zraku. Ovo ljeto neće nikada proći. Tako se danas čini… S moga balkona puca pogled na klasičnu dalmatinsku idilu. Barke na moru, ribari čekaju plijen. Ja nemam barku! Ja sam dijete s asfalta. Mislio sam ovdje završiti kad navršim,recimo, šezdeset i petu. Misliti je isto što i srati rekao bi moj otac da može, al’ne može jer je odavno mrtav. Neki dan sam napunio pedeset i petu što bi trebalo da znači da sam u idilu stigao tridesetak godina ranije. Nisam stigao već pobjegao, al’ko bar jednom nije pobjegao. Trideset godina je puno, puno dana. To je nečiji život, ako nije imao sreće da ostari. Pitao bih ja danas matorog Pita šta misli o onom svom sranju “hope I die before I get old”. Ne volim kad ljudi psuju, al’meni često izleti. Glasno pričam, glasno psujem, čista genetika, a žena mi stalno govori da se derem. Mene to vrijeđa jer sam navikao da me tetoše. Muha mi je za rođendan napisao “sretan ti rođendan sunce moje malo”. Sunce moje malo se ne dere,naravno. Muha je sasvim ok tip i moj friend, a moj friend ne može biti neka budala. Jedna mi je djevuška rekla da imam dodir anđela. Ja nisam angel, ali koliko znam ni oni se ne deru. To je jedna super djevuška, vjerujte mi na riječ...

Dear reader, I assume that, as soon you open this book, you'll immediately recognize its uniqueness, at the very first page, usually titled, “CONTENTS”!

Millions of published books contain a list of Contents written on several more pages, giving the reader a chance to engage his creative mind, to contemplate the topics before he decides to start digging deeper into the material.

We make it easier for you, offering Content in just one topic, COMPASSION, saving your time and allowing you to spread your imagination over this one poem (created by 120 authors) immediately and decisively.

Dear poet, contributor, and creator of this extraordinary anthology, with one poem on the topic

COMPASSION,

It was a great pleasure, and at the same time, surprise, to reveal the natural flow during the process of pluralization, creating a unique field, radiating the oneness, confirming that raising a global consciousness is the exclusive way to point out our Universal creativity.

I would like to express my profound gratitude to all, for your persistence in proving a universal law of synchronicity of existence.
