Poetic Fantasies Volume 2 - Poets Unite Worldwide - Bog

"People seem to have lost faith in the power of fantasy." Haoran Tong says, and then adds: Sometimes, people mock each other for having "nothing else but fantasy in their mind".As far as the dictionary meaning goes, fantasy is not so much concerned with the fact that we do imagine, but the inherent power that we can imagine. And-We are born to imagine.But why do we rely on poetry to narrate fantasy?According to the American novelist Jesmyn Ward, poetry is the language of infinite possibility in the most compact form. Fantasy allows us to operate and experience in a world outside of the confines of language. And this collection perfectly integrates poetry with fantasy. (H. Tong)
