We need security and shelter within art's four walls When some tragedy and despair in one's life befalls. Where real life at times can seem so harsh and cold, Allow art, with its dimensions, to embrace and hold. When art touches life we are left with questions and very few concrete answers. Why do we live? Why do we die? Why do we invent? Why is the world as it is? What would our lives be like in an ideal world? For years, poets, artists and great thinkers have pontificated on these questions and others, and this rich, vivid collection of poetry offers fresh considerations of the myriad possible answers.…mehr

Autorenporträt
My name is Asif Ali. I am a published poet, with my debut, When Art Touches Life, being very well received by readers. I write about matters which make us human. I feel I have found my identity in poetry. Poetry is in my blood. I have been writing poetry for some twenty years, covering a diverse array of topics and subjects. My poems touch everyone - young, old and in between. My poetry is a very small or tiny segment of my writing. The other form of writing I pursue is essays. Whatever the genre, I look most of all for depth and weight in the subject. I try as best as I can to understand the subject and then bring forth what I learn in my writing, whether it is poetry, essay or speech. I love music and songs. I need songs and music to inspire and move me in every way. I seek the depth and meaning of songs, and the singer's performance and delivery of the song. Certain singers I admire are Eva Cassidy, Carole King and Shakira. Each are unique and talented for their understanding and application of the music they compose and perform. Though Eva Cassidy mainly sang covers, her voice and insight are so unique. Other languages have their own unique facets and musical personalities. Song and music are essentially for the heart and spirit. As a poet, I look at lyrics very closely. I have been praised for my poems by the musicians I have met who have suggested collaborations.
