We know that the literary fraternity is eagerly waiting for the same. As we promised last time we have increased the number of copies by the tune 20% of the previous issue as we have faced the acute shortage of copies even in last edition which was 1.5 times of the first one.

In the century year of birth , we have dedicated “Yaad-e- RaftgaN” in the name of legendry urdu poet MajeedAmjad, with a view to contact today’s reader with his work
In this issue also we have tried to present a mix n match of seniors and promising new voices. In total there are 47 entries of 26 different poets, writers, critics from India, Pakistan, Iran and USA.
In the current issue we are also presenting the translations of two prominent poets i.e. KedarNath Singh of Hindi and Vicente Aleixandre of Spanish. Kedarnath Singh, a prominent hindi poet of current era, who has recently got the prestigious Gyanpeeth Award and Vicente Aleixandre, one of the prominent figure of Generation-27 and recipient of Nobel Prize for Literature in 1977.
