An appreciation by eminent reviewer Raj Kishore Patnaik, on Epistolary poetry journey!
Humbled and Honoured.
Congratulations to Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai and Kristy Raines for their remarkable achievements in the world of poetry! Their collaborative effort in creating a vast collection of 200 epistolary poems is truly inspiring. It’s fascinating to see how their unique styles and talents have merged to revive the art of epistolary poetry. Their dedication to literature and the preservation of this art form is commendable.
Dr. Dalai’s background as a lecturer in English, along with his poetic prowess in writing romantic and melancholic verses, complements Kristy’s versatility in writing across various genres, including fantasy, romance, and serious subjects. Kristy’s passion for writing and advocacy work, especially for marginalized communities like the Rohingya people, showcases her commitment to using her voice for meaningful causes.
Their journey from discovering the concept of epistolary poetry to now being on the verge of publishing their first book is truly remarkable. They’ve not only surpassed records but have also maintained a standard of quality and uniqueness in their work. Their desire to be recognized as epistolary poets in Wikipedia and the Guinness Book of Records, as well as their goal of having their book placed in university libraries internationally, reflects their dedication to preserving and promoting this beautiful form of poetry for future generations.
Congratulations once again to Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai and Kristy Raines on their achievements, and best wishes for their future endeavors in the world of poetry!
