POETRY AND FICTION

INTRODUCTION

The very root of the term fiction lies in words denoting falsehood. Yet, what a pregnant world of imagination it contains! Sculpting with words is the craft of the creative writers. Whether they draw their inspiration from madness, divinity or intoxication, poets and fiction writers have always provided the soul and the society with windows through which to escape to worlds unreal, realms undiscovered. Sample some quintessentially imaginative, mystical and intensely thoughtful short stories and poems.
