I am very honored & happy to have ten poems featured in a lovely anthology called Apple Fruits of an Old Oak. This collection edited by Soodabeh Saeidnia includes short poems, haiku & micropoetry of 31 international poets (mostly from North America, UK, Australia, Egypt, Iran, India, Bangladesh) & the work of 4 Canadian and Iranian photographers. My heartfelt thanks to Soodabeh Saeidnia for letting me be a part of this wonderful project.

You can pick up your copies at Amazon : Apple Fruits of an Old Oak

Below is the list of my poems included in the anthology :

Between root & wings

Lie

Happy birthday 

I stayed with you when it was dark 

On a hook

Scent of yesterday-today-tomorrow

Waiting town 

A page turn 

Frost in the eyes of a refugee woman

Orlando : Guns & roses

Four poems at Erbacce Magazine

I am grateful & honored that the editors at Erbacce Press (Liverpool, UK) liked four of my poems from the Erbacce Poetry Contest 2016 enough to include in their latest issue (46). These poems, Daisy, On a hook, Song & the bottom of the root, & Telescope & night ornaments, had been longlisted for the contest. I was not aware they would be published  in their print magazine. So when I received the magazine featuring my work alongside that of some fine poets from different corners of the world, I was really surprised & delighted. Thanks again Alan Corkish & Andrew Taylor.

Thank you!

I am not a silent poet started at the end of November 2014. I was at a point where I was getting very angry and depressed about the number of Facebook posts and Tweets about different kinds of abuse all over the world: gender abuse, domestic violence, child abuse, female genital mutilation, abuse of the disabled, the bombings in Gaza, Syria and many other places leading to the huge numbers of refugees trying to enter Europe with many drowning on the way in the Mediterranean, the mistreatment and killing of blacks in the USA, austerity imposed by the Conservative party in the UK and its terrible effects on the poorer members of society…
