the stories
edition 2:5, the seventeenth edition of the cherita
edited by ai li

 

This edition of the stories showcases 90 excellent cherita and cherita terbalik from writers and poets who hail from UK, USA, Singapore, Ireland, India, Canada, Lithuania, Poland, and Italy.

cherita terbalik continues to capture the imagination of poets and there are again fine examples in this edition.

I have edited this edition as I have all the other editions of the cherita, to be experienced two ways. It can be read as one storybook but also as an anthology of individual poems. Two reading experiences within one book, filled with stories of Life, Love and Loss.

I started my once upon a cherita writing class today and it went really well. This will be an 11 week writing course which I am running at the U3A in London for my first term. I’m proposing to share my personal cherita as well as cherita from the cherita over the coming weeks. Do watch this space for updates on these ongoing cherita classes.

 

EXAMPLE OF WORK:


autumn

the ritual of leaves
in the bonfire

i wonder why
everything
has to burn


Mary Hanrahan

 

New blood is essential for any poetry journal and again we have several new names to add to our growing list of cherita contributors.

My grateful thanks go out to everyone who have supported the cherita and made it possible for the emergence of a strong and vibrant edition each month.

If this new edition strikes a chord with you, please feel free to review, comment on Amazon or give a feedback directly to me.
