Congratulations!

My dear Sheema,

Besides being phenomenal, stunning and gorgeous, your poetry is haunting, and sublimely thoughtful. I am so happy that you have won this well deserved award.

Congratulations also for being nominated for the prestigious Pushcart award.

These are my favorite lines that I had read on your site a while ago and made me get my own copy of your amazing book:

Nothing is all I am,

Nothing overloading nothing,

Closing the doors,

Opening an extra into an empty space,

Nothing ensues but a further war.

 

Wishing you the best, Azarin

This couldn't happen to a worthier individual. Sheema is 100 years ahead of her time.

Sheema jan: The mediocre minds; those who are prisoners of deeply perverted indoctrinations of hate will never be able to appreciate your work. Their God is hatred, revenge, and envy; and that is nothing short of poetic justice for their punishment is being 'who they are' and that is enough!

Enjoy your good Karma!

anyone who can do "marketing, publicity, and design" and actually manage to sell that, is nothing short of a miracle worker!
