In the realm where the essence of words transcends mere letters on a page, where poetry and emotions intertwine to narrate the depths of the human heart, there lies a work of art, so profound it mirrors the beauty and complexity of life itself. “The Shark in Quetta” by Eavan Howe emerges as a beacon of light in the literary landscape, offering a journey through pages and the very soul of existence. Penned with sheer elegance and emotional depth, readers are invited into a world where every word resonates with the universe’s rhythm.
Quetta, nestled in the heart of Western Asia, a small valley cradled by dry mountains, serves not merely as a backdrop but as the very canvas on which Eavan paints a delicate miniature of human emotions. Through her vivid portrayal, Quetta transforms into a metaphor for life’s enduring contrasts: its stark landscapes reflect deep sorrows, its resilient spirit a testament to the boundless capacity for love. Eavan’s poetic journey through this book is an exploration of love in its myriad forms, from the ecstasy of embrace to the agony of absence.
Eavan Howe is recognized as a creative poet writing in China and, additionally, a thoughtful and expressive Chinese poet writing today in a language that is not her mother tongue. The publication of this first English-language collection convincingly announces Eavan’s presence as the possessor of a poetic voice worth hearing, evolved through a life lived variously in North and South China, throughout the Middle East, and in newly liberated Eastern Europe. Her emotional journeys into love’s deepest realms serve as the heart of her work, making “The Shark in Quetta” a reflection of both personal and universal truths about love, loss, and the indomitable human spirit.
This collection of poems offers solace for the weary, inspiration for the hopeful, and a flood of emotions for the wanderers of love. Eavan’s exploration of love and life resonates with the intricacies of the human heart, reminding us that true love, though blind, is the universal compass that guides us through storms, leading to the shores of being.
To read this book is to venture on a pilgrimage across the sacred landscapes of a heart, broken yet full of love, where the echoes of ancient mountains whisper the secrets of love’s eternal spring, and the shadows of longing stretch long into the night. It is an invitation to unfold wings and soar into the embrace of a poetic journey that reveals the reflection of our own souls… forever wandering, forever yearning, forever entwined in the dance of love and life. This captivating anthology (ISBN: 9781957144948) is now available for purchase from Amazon, Waterstones, Alibris, and major online bookstores worldwide.
