Editor Speak

October 2024

As the gentle whispers of autumn replace the fervor of summer, The Wise Owl spreads its wings once again, offering its readers a vibrant tapestry of literature and art. The Munia Edition comes to life with voices that challenge, inspire, and expand our understanding of the world around us.

​

In this edition, we have the pleasure of featuring conversations with some of the brightest creative minds of our time. Ambika Nagino (known to her readers as A.A. Vora), whose debut Spin of Fate has taken the Young Adult literary scene by storm, shares her journey from the bustling streets of Tokyo to the fantastical realms she conjures with her pen. Dimitri Sirenko, a Canadian artist whose bold use of acrylics and oils captures the essence of emotion on canvas, talks about his artistic philosophy and how the landscapes of his homeland influence his work. Rounding out this triumvirate of talent, Sanjeev Sethi, with the release of his eighth poetry collection, Legato without a Lisp, reflects on the power of precision in poetry, and how his sixtieth year has honed his literary voice.

​

But it doesn’t stop there. This edition is a true feast for the senses. Our poetry and prose selections showcase a rich diversity of voices from across the globe, exploring themes both timeless and contemporary. Readers will find themselves transported by stories that delve deep into the human experience, creative non-fiction pieces that blur the lines between reality and reflection, and reviews that offer thoughtful critiques on recent literary releases.

​

We’re especially excited about the latest addition to The Wise Owl family—The Wise Owl Studio Talks, a platform dedicated to promoting literature and art. In this edition, we bring you an insightful chat with Neena Singh, an Indian Haikai poet whose love for minimalism and nature shines through in her every verse. These conversations, much like literature itself, offer a window into the minds of our contemporary creators.

​

Finally, we are thrilled to announce the close of submissions for The Wise Owl Literary Awards, which saw a remarkable influx of entries—especially in the poetry category. As we embark on the judging process, we’re eager to discover new talents and celebrate established voices in the literary landscape. The Wise Owl readers would be happy to know that the print edition of The Wise Owl is now available on amazon.

​

As always, The Wise Owl remains committed to fostering a community of creativity, where writers and artists from every corner of the world can find a platform to share their work. This edition is a testament to that mission, and we hope it serves as both inspiration and entertainment for our ever-growing family of readers.

​

Happy reading, and may the spirit of the owl guide your literary journey.
