edition 3:5
edited by ai li

This edition of in the night showcases 90 fine cherita and cherita terbalik from writers and poets who hail from UK, USA, Singapore, New Zealand, Italy, India, Romania, Lithuania, Germany, Israel, and Ireland.

in the night is the fifth edition for our third year.

We are almost halfway into our third year of being with this new edition of the cherita. Several new names join us and share with us their stories.

It never fails to amaze and excite me when I receive submissions from new sources of storytelling.

After the launch of three books last month, this current launch is much more of a sedate affair for me which was very much what I needed after all that proof reading, fingers crossing and prayers from the previous launch of what was, in effect, 6 books [3 paperbacks and 3 kindle books].

I have edited in the night 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.

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

Featured Poets as they appear in this edition :-

Patricia Prime/ Andrew Riutta/ Michael H Lester/ Joanna Ashwell/ Bon Callahan/ Kath Abela Wilson/ James Haddad/ Peggy Castro/ ai li/ Taura Scott/ Gregory Longenecker/ paula song sarmonpal/ Matsukaze/ wendy c.

I have posted a long paragraph on our Announcements page

http://www.thecherita.com/announcements/

about the lack of acknowledgment for the cherita from a poet, for the re-printing of 11 cherita which had their first publication in 7 editions of the cherita.

I have enjoyed the challenge of selecting and collating for this October edition of the cherita and hope that you will find the cherita within worthy of a campfire gathering and the sharing of meaningful stories.

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