Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. While the world is afflicted by noise, conflicts, and uncertainty about what tomorrow holds, poetry remains a beacon, an ancient language of the soul that continues to whisper the muse of verses. The first issue of "THE LANTERNS OF GLOBAL POETRY" was born from the desire to gather those whispers from every corner of the planet and let them shine brightly. Every poet here is a bearer of a lantern. Their verses are not mere words but light and flames. They are sparks that tear through silence, injustice, loss, and nostalgia. They are flames that warm, illuminate, and sometimes burn, but always with a clear purpose. Through their voices, we receive messages carved in culture and pain. Crossing oceans and borders, their poems transcend languages and differences to speak the universal rhythm and the one language of humanity. This issue gathers all the lit lanterns in every language and culture, suspended in the vast sky of personal experience. Some shine softly, reflecting tenderness and memories; others burn intensely, like calls for peace and the sacred dignity of our existence. Yet all shine with the unique power of poetry. Let us continue and walk together among these lights. Let us cherish each lantern carefully, read each poem as a message sent through time and space. And. as we turn each page, we may discover ourselves not only as readers but as travelers along a path illuminated by the muse of poetry. Let us continue and walk together among these lights. Let us cherish each lantern carefully, read every poem as a message sent through time and space. And. as we turn each page, we may find ourselves not only readers but also travelers along a path illuminated by the muse of poetry. For a moment, I imagined being in a timeless place, where the sky knows no borders and the night is lit by a thousand dancing lights from these suspended lanterns, each created by a heart that pulses only verses. This issue is not just the beginning of a magazine but the calling of a silent temple, where every poet lights their own flame, offering it to the readers. In this first issue, we do not only celebrate the beauty of verses: we honor the courage of those who write to unite, to heal, to bear witness. Here you will find poems walking on invisible threads between continents, carrying with them the weight of memory, the urgency of justice, the dream of peace. We have opened the windows of the soul to the winds of the world. Now listen. Look. Walk among these lights. Perhaps in one of them you will recognize your own. Each lantern in this collection is a miniature universe: holding tears never shed, whispers lost in time, hopes that endure despite everything. The poets you will read are men and women who have seen the dawn through wounds and the sunset with the eyes of the soul. Their words do not merely describe the world: they traverse it, question it, challenge it. The magazine: THE LANTERNS OF GLOBAL POETRY is a bridge between distant lands and hearts, a refuge for those who still believe in the disarming power of poetry. It is a journey without maps, guided only by the inner light that each author lets filter through the lines.These lanterns are made of truth, dreams, and heartbeats. Some tremble, others shine brightly. But all share a single mission: to illuminate. It doesn't matter from which corner of the world they come, for they all verse authentic emotion. As you turn these pages, let yourself be guided and do not seek answers but only connections. Let the words warm your nights like silent fires suspended in the sky. Because where poetry burns, solitude does not exist, for each lantern with its light is like an outstretched hand, saying: Here I am, I am here! Welcome and happy reading to all!!

Unbound. Condition: Near Fine. Original painting for the 1966 "Artists Tower of Protest" (also known as "The Peace Tower"). Approximately 24" x 24". Signed on the rear "Angela Kosta" on an affixed label with her Chicago address. Modest corner wear, but near fine. The painting in white, orange, and red, depicts a figure hugging its knees, confined in a triangle which is itself within a circle. The Peace Tower was a 58-foot steel tetrahedron erected in 1966 on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles to protest the Vietnam War. This two-foot by two-foot work on plywood, painted by artist Angela Driessen-Kosta, was one of 418 panels that were attached to the structure designed by the sculptor Mark di Suvero. Artists from around the world contributed to the tower, including Elaine de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg (who provided the bulk of the funding to complete the work). According to Driessen-Kosta: "My intention was to create an 'anti-war' poster. The central figure is expressing grief and is in a confined or 'hopeless' space. The bright colors were used to attract attention but also resemble a 'stop sign' as in stop wars." She received a degree in art education from Western Michigan University and did postgraduate work at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She was a photographic set and window display designer in Chicago for 16 years, then moved to San Diego in 1979, where she mounted numerous exhibitions and received a variety of awards. Her artwork is primarily mixed media and sculptural assemblages. The Peace Tower was dedicated on February 26, 1966 with speeches by Susan Sontag, Irving Petlin, and former Green Beret Donald Duncan. During the three months it stood, the tower and artists were continually under attack. Volunteers from Watts, the recent scene of race riots, assisted in defending it. Efforts were made to relocate the work to another permanent location, but none were successful. Ultimately, the tower itself was dismantled and cut up, the artworks were wrapped in brown paper and anonymously auctioned off by The Los Angeles Peace Center, raising $12,000, according to *Art, Politics and Dissent: Aspects of the Art Left in Sixties America* (2000) by Francis Frascina. The Peace Tower was controversial for more than just its unpopular position against the Vietnam War. It represented the first instance of American artists coming together to create a collective work of art in political protest. "In order to fully contextualize the Peace Tower as well as other efforts artists would make to combine art and politics in their work from 1966 onward, one must understand how such efforts would have been undesirable and unwelcome in the American fine arts system of the 1960s," wrote Matthew Israel in his book *Kill for Peace: American Artist Against the Vietnam War* (2013). The Tower is also now a model for organizing collective artistic endeavors. In 2006, the Whitney Museum staged a recreation of the tower in protest of the War in Iraq, and Driessen-Kosta was among the few original Peace Tower artists invited to contribute to this work. A bright and vivid depiction of Vietnam Anti-War art.
