The Council of Masters

Olcan Taşmaz

The Council of Masters, Echoes of a Conclave is not a book you simply read – it is a threshold you cross. Every page breathes with the resonance of silence, where unseen masters wait to remind you of truths long hidden. Their voices rise through earth and stone, fire and water, leading you deeper into the mysteries of your own soul.

Here you will discover that the body is not a burden but a temple, that every vibration is a note in the great symphony of creation, that stones themselves remember, and that love burns as an eternal fire within the heart. Each chapter unfolds as a revelation, a mirror in which the masters appear – not as distant beings, but as reflections of your own essence.

Written in a voice at once mystical and timeless, this book calls both to the mind and to the marrow of the spirit. It does not merely inform; it transforms.

At the final threshold, two doors await, one opens to the world, one to eternity. Yet perhaps they are not two at all, but a single mystery wearing many faces, inviting you to step across and remember who you have always been.

With this book I want to take you on a journey into my mind, and at the end of the book I may or may not let you back out. I have lots of observations in my poems, and at times you may recognise your family members, friends, or even yourself in some of them. Some might scare you and give you nightmares. Others may cause you to experience tears of laughter. Your emotions will be battered and bruised into submission by my unique storytelling style. I guarantee it’s like nothing you have ever read before. My poems are very varied and deal with all kinds of subjects, both for your delight and horror. They are full of twists and turns that keep you guessing and wondering, “Where the hell is this going? My thoughts now turned into words sprawling through the imagination of my runaway mind… I dare you to look inside…

Origins

Rosemary Paul

This debut poetry collection comes from a writer born before World War II. Though not deeply affected by the war itself, she grew up during a time of hardship for much of Europe. A lifelong sense of not quite belonging in the many places she lived as a child eventually led her to settle in Suffolk, where she found her first true sense of home.
Her love of poetry was sparked by a schoolteacher and nurtured by her father, who enjoyed playful verse like The Hunting of the Snark.
Today, we are fortunate to live in an age of easy communication and travel, where rural life no longer means isolation. Suffolk, with its thriving poetry scene, has provided her with both inspiration and community.
This collection reflects a life shaped by place, memory, and human connection. Some poems explore landscapes like the King’s Forest, while others bring to life people and moments from her past, such as Granny and Rhos-on-Sea. The collection concludes with a medley of light-hearted poems, crafted to bring a smile to the reader’s face.

The Genius and the Jester

Mark Newton

“The Genius and the Jester,
Crossed paths by chance one day.
They knew each other from the court,
But never had parleyed.”

Four lines, two rhymes, that introduce,
By way of a quatrain,
Two characters who asked of me,
Just who on earth were they?

And what was it that they should do?
What was their history?
Where would they go, who would they meet?
They seemed to say to me.
So, if you have the interest,
And then a little time,
Their unexpected adventure,
You’ll find here told in rhyme.
For the world a new history,
Which I commend to you;
Hoping it is interesting
Enough to see it through.

Waves & Waves & Waves

Laura-Elena Mireanu

Life is water. Water is life.

The motif of water is ever-present. Drops of luck. Pouring anger. Draining sadness. Gushes of adrenaline. Lake of knowledge. River of wisdom. Waves of worry
clashing,
crashing,
colliding
into my mind.
Waves of passion, of protest, of power;
waves of highs, of lows, of in-betweens;
waves of woe, of wonder, of war;
waves of lust, of love, of life.
And amidst all this water, I try to swim through it all.
Through the love,
the wars,
the other trivialities that life has in store for me.

Submerging in the oceans of possibility, of experience.
Sometimes I float, sometimes I drown.
Sometimes I prefer one, sometimes the other.
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes colliding, cleansing, crashing into me like
waves & waves & waves.

Swim float drown against the waves waves waves
words gush out on the page beyond my control and I am left dry.

For now.

So Let It Be With Caesar

Richard Godfrey

I turned to poetry when prose seemed too slow and laborious a way for my impatient, unskilled teenage self to deal with. I was slowly heading for habitual self-harm, and writing poetry saved me! I discovered a way of expressing myself with no need to share it and be judged by others. I could get any difficult and/or destructive feelings out of my head, where they might fester, onto the page and put it aside and forget about it if I wished. I feel that it protected my mental health; it always did, and it continues to do so. I could not, however, have predicted the wider unintended consequences. I became better at written expression in all aspects of my professional and personal life. I believe I am also more verbally articulate as a result too, and it has allowed me to focus and reflect on many things beyond the practice of written and verbal expression. It has magnified my enjoyment of nature and of life generally.
