Promotion via Poetry

Have you read a poetry book before,
That has taken you to shore after shore?
From India to Russia and America,
From the Arab World into Africa,
Roaming between dreams and reality,
Riding through humor and calamity?

"Untamed Nostalgia" is inclusive of romance,
War, peace, food, music and dance,
Philosophy, TV and family members,
It teases the mind and so one remembers,
It mentions events of high importance,
Narrates history of great significance.

"Untamed Nostalgia" is for,
Animal, women and political activists
History lovers and food specialists
Poets, music lovers and optimists

Daring, provocative and enhancing the self
Hurry to obtain a copy from top of a shelf.
The poet is confident, not full of conceit
The book will affect even those with cold feet!
