The Melodies of Immortality is a collection of poems contributed by fifty one established as well as the budding poets of India. The book is meant to promote creative writing as it is considered a derelict area and no heed is paid to this genre of literature. In modern time prose writing has its vast readers unlike that of poetry. Prose is the reflection of experiences whereas poetry is the songs of soul. Prose makes one wise whereas poetry makes one generous. The beauty of poetry touches the soul and makes one soar in the realm of delight where sky is no limit. Every poem has its own soul. And every poet has his/her own vision. Early poetry began by the seers or sages. In some cases those poets were even addressed as gods. The certain heightened moments spontaneously give birth to poetry. Such vision charges the words with ‘magical potency’ and brings one close to the Immortality. As every poet is influenced by his age, so the poems of this volume reflect different experiences of the poets interconnected with the eternal values and human existence. Contributors 1.
