I have always loved reading. When I was in grade school, while all my classmates were playing tag or hide-and-seek during lunch break, I’d always find myself inside the library, sitting cross-legged on the floor of the Fiction section, reading children’s books. When everyone else was struggling with poem recitation, I memorized Trees by Joyce Kilmer. There has always been something about those rhymes and stops, the words used that, at first thought, don’t make sense. At a young age, although I don’t understand everything I read, poetry has always left me feeling calm. Through the years, poetry has evolved. From a language with certain rules and counts, nowadays, we are being introduced to contemporary poems which, in my opinion, are easier to relate with and understand. Although some would say that it has lost the glamour of those written back in the days, I think it still has the luster we are all looking for when it comes to expression. I believe a good poem is one which makes you feel, which changes you in one way or another, and not just impresses you. In celebration of International Poetry Day, I have compiled here some of my favorite poems, those that hit me every single time and I never get tired of reading. to allot each person exactly one hundred. and sixty-seven words, per day. without saying hello.
The 91-year-old Iranian artist Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian misses New York, where she lived in the late '40s and into the '50s and again after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. She returned to Tehran ten years ago, to reopen her art studio after her self-imposed exile in New York. She was recently in Manhattan again for the opening of an exhibition of her work at the Guggenheim Museum (as it happens, she attended the building’s ground-breaking in 1956). "Infinite Possibility: Mirror Works and Drawings 1974–2014" is a... Today, especially set against the geometric interior of the Guggenheim, they recall a certain breed of modernism while also evoking ancient traditional handicrafts. She first moved here in March of 1945 to study (World World II interfered with her fantasy of moving to Paris). Later, because of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, she was exiled here for 26 years, albeit stylishly, living in a penthouse on Fifth Avenue with a 70-foot terrace and music room with a dome.
Oral Bryan, 44, hit Nicola McKenzie, the mother of their two children, over the head with the stick 'like an axe' during a furious row. The row erupted in Moss Side, Manchester, on September 17 last year when Miss McKenzie spotted a car belonging to Bryan's new partner outside his home. As the two women squared up to one another, Bryan got a hockey stick from his house and cracked it over Miss McKenzie's head as she shouted: 'These are your kids, go on, show them what you're like. The fatal blow, witnessed by the couple's two children, daughter Teja, 12, and son Amahri, eight, as well as Bryan's three other children, shattered Miss McKenzie's skull and left her lying unconscious in the street. As she lay dying with blood pouring from the head wound, Bryan picked up Miss McKenzie to check for signs of life before casually dumping her back down on the pavement and running off. He claimed Miss McKenzie had attacked him with a knife and he struck the fatal blow accidentally in self-defence, but no knife was recovered at the scene. Diana Ellis, QC, defending, said her client was 'fully aware' of the impact of his actions, adding: 'No one wishes more that the clock could turned back.
