Love comes in all shapes and sizes. The beauty of love is that, you can fall into it with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time. Sometimes two people find each other with both broken foundations, and they build together as a team to make a foundation that is indestructible. Love can be found in unexpected places. This is the very reason why this Anthology is called “Permutations and Combinations of Love.” Discourses: A Centre of English Language and Literature has today blossomed into a thriving, constantly evolving, and expanding community of poets, writers, intellectual thinkers from all across the globe. Poetess, Research Oriented Academic Writer and Foundress of Discourses, Dr. Purnima Kulkarni has contributed more than 30 Poems to this Anthology herself and compiled poetic verses penned by 7 International Poets.

Poetry can be for individual pleasure, just like any art form can be – following the individual heart and the artist’s whims and fancies and then the world is free to accept or reject it. Even in that, there is something of society that the artist creates. No work of art exists in a vacuum. The common lament is that there are not enough poets and too many politicians. But it is equally true that there are poets lurking in every hidden corner of a home- waiting to be discovered. We aren’t a Dead Poet’s society-not yet! That itself should give any country or culture hope. This is what essentially made us at Cocoa Butter come up with the idea of a poetry competition that would result in an anthology!
