The Editor
 Happy
New Year! My main aim is to include most
promising artwork, poems, literary criticism,
haiku and short stories by international
artists. TMR is open to new authors, painters
and photographers. For publication in Taj Mahal
Review, it is our ardent aim and desire to seek
the poetry by Noble laureates, or by newly
emerging (even previously unpublished poets).
James Joyce rightly says, “Every age must look
for its sanction to its poetry and philosophy,
for in these the human mind, as it looks
backward or forward, attains to an eternal
state”. We have published sixteen volumes till
now, about 7000 pages, and over 3,000 poets,
short story writers, haiku poets, literary
essays, reviews, paintings and photographs. I
have tried my best to select the most impressive
poetry, short story and artwork revealing
diversity in excellence.
I’m obliged to
Kornelijus Platelis and Ban’ya Natsuishi for
inviting me and Karunesh Kumar Agarwal to attend
the Druskininkai 20th Poetic Fall Festival and
the 5th World Haiku Association Conference 2009
on 30th September to 5th October in Vilnius and
Druskininkai, Lithuania. We participated in the
Conference, and the memories will linger for a
long time. Both Ban’ya and Kornelijus Platelis
deserve admiration for this most remarkable
haiku festival. 121 participants from 23
countries made the Festival so engaging and so
lively. The poets read their haiku in original
language, English and Lithuanian translations.
The theme of the Festival was: Short Poetic
Forms: Haiku. The 2009 Nobel Prize in Literature
was awarded to Herta Müller. She was cited as
someone, “who, with the concentration of poetry
and the frankness of prose, depicts the
landscape of the dispossessed”; she received a
prize amount of US$1.4 million. Hearty
congratulations to her.
If you value
TMR great service for the cause of Poetry, Art,
Peace and Brotherhood, please subscribe now! My
sincere thanks to the creative artists included
in Dec 2009 TMR. Beyond any doubt, this
publication would never have been possible
without their cooperation, kind support and
subscriptions.
