|  | | Adam Donaldson Powell: the Making of a Poet
I shall never forget the evening of September 2008 when I met Powell and Russo first time in Oslo, the evening when I by Grace of God talked to these great poets. It was a miracle, almost incredible to meet Albert Russo, the bilingual author, who writes in both English and French, his two ‘mother tongues’. The occasion was my visit to Oslo in 18-20 September 2008 to attend WORDS - one path to peace and understanding. This international festival was arranged under the auspices of the cultural organization Du store verden!/DSV. The festival WORDS was a grand success due to extraordinary efforts of Eli Borchgrevink, Managing Director of Du store verden!/DSV, Adam D. Powell, Diane Oatley and others.

As a reviewer I always try to promote understanding and enjoyment of literature. A literary critic should always aim at reconstructing the mind of the creative artist as manifested in his or her manuscript. The vast field of an artist’s mind is revealed only when we discover ‘wisdom of the ages’ in his work. "The past is altered by the past as much as the present is directed by the past." In my critical review of the creative artists included in Critical Essays I have kept the attitude of a careful searcher or explorer. The main concern is to search the intrinsic and unique strength of the poet or short-story writer. An immortal poet always uses language "charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree" (Ezra Pound), and his poetry is "the storehouse of recorded values" (F. R. Leavis).

It is necessary to draw attention to the fact that nowadays we notice that haiku is being written in a format quite different from the three-line haku. Several poets like Marlene Mountain, John Wills, and Matsuo Allard and jim Kacian have used a single line haiku. The fact is that we should not prescribe any technique for writing haiku. This freedom will really enlighten the audience.

Dr. Santosh Kumar has successfully shown that he has both a good understanding of the classical form and literary history of the haiku as an art form, and more importantly possesses the literary experience, expertise, sensitivity and dexterity required to update and further develop this classical art form in his own way – thus both ensnaring and enticing the reader to join him in his own contemporary pas de deux, expressive of the wonders and dilemmas of today's social, spiritual and psychological experience. This resonance in the reader/audience, together with the «magic» of boundless possibilities, is essential to the success and the survival of the artist's expression as a «living, and ever changing» organism.

The Haiku of Sayumi Kamakura: A Critical Study is not restricted to the critical elucidiation of her masterpiece A Crown of Roses; it also relates the use of the cutting word 'kiriji' in her numberless haiku published in her different other collections and several international literary journals. This volume rests in part on Sayumi Kamakura's manuscript sources, and on facts collected through interviews or correspondence. But most characteristically it is an attmpt at critically interpreting the vast body of Kamakura's published haiku in her several collections, and also international literary journals and magazines In this substantial, powerfully argued convincing collection of critical views, the authors across the globe demonstrate how Sayumi Kamakura succeeds in presenting 'distillation of a moment' in her haiku. It is fitting that the included essays draw extensively on illustrations from her haiku. This is a distictive presentation of her haiku transcending race, creed and ideology. I hope this critical book with deft cmmentary and up-to-date information on Sayumi Kamakura's haiku will meet the needs of all haiku lovers.
