A Poet's Secrets

A collection of inspirational, religious, love and spiritual poems - in the words of the poet: "...the poetic manifestations included in this collection are my most precious secrets. They are that which I would never ever talk about, with anyone... I hope you will enjoy reading them. I hope you will be able to identify yourself with that which I have written, on the personal and emotional planes as well as that of the mysterious yet hard to define attributes of faith. Together, let's celebrate of the enigma that makes poets who they are!" "Anoucheka affirms the sanctity of the poet as a creator with a moral choice in a world drifting away from values. Her young questing voice must be heard." Suniti Nundoo-Goorah Senior Lecturer Open University of Mauritius "In this new anthology entitled "A Poet's Secrets" Anoucheka has delivered verses to the best of her abilities, where she roams freely among the literary devices and technicalities with great verve and majestically. In her own words " I walk in a flowery garden, a dance in the courts of Eden" Furthermore, she will add about her own existence and her identity, in this dream world where she is "The queen of my words" And she moves on regally showing mastery over the language used by being "the queen of all mystics". I could discern great admiration she shows for British Poetry, specially as she relates her love for poetry with words of John Donne to write on the mysterious aspects of the mighty Sun and the more powerful entity called Death. Anoucheka grows so fast in her poetry, despite her young age and philosophically points out that "What is Love, if not Lust in disguise" I can simply say I am amazed here, as I compare her with the vain young people of today and applaud her great maturity and wisdom One may then question her prowess, her dexterity, her literary skills at such a young age. She gives the answer, she believes in the Almighty and her faith in God leads her to great heights. She writes "For my Lord, I remain always thirsty" On this note, as a friend and as a fellow writer, I wish this queen of words greater faith in the supreme power governing our lives and warm feelings for a very bright and flourishing future in the magical world of Literature."
