In this collection, we fall into the tenderness of quiet, shared moments, feel the spark and burn of passion, experience the exact second lovers discover their worlds are forever intertwined. Alicja Kuberska has gifted us with the magnificence and unpredictability of the heart -- and shares how when love finds us, we are unprepared, but overjoyed by sensations that dominate and flavor every ounce of our being. As these beautiful poems blend together, we also learn the ultimate lesson: love is a verb -- not a noun. Jeffrey S. Copeland Jeffrey S.

Poems written in English and Arabic, full of passion and feelings, invite reader to the world of lov

I'm placing in your hands an international anthology dedicated to love, the most beautiful feeling there is. We all know the words from The Beatles' song: All you need is love Love is all you need To that I should like to add, from myself -Love is like air, which we need for breathing, for we, humans, cannot live happily without love. My experience and observations bring me to the conclusion that a life without love leads to misery and destruction. Therefore I invite you on a journey around the world, for a breath of air filled with love. Alicja Kuberska, Editor

Poetry, they say, has gone out of fashion. It no longer speaks to people. Those who say this have clearly not read the work of Alicja Kuberska. In her recent book (Not) My Poem, she demonstrates that her love of poetry and her love of writing poetry can reach and touch any reader. In these poems about dreams and bread and lovers and clouds and philosophers and butterflies and more, she touches on all those things that connect us in a language that is always joyful and clear and engaging. This book of poems will not disappoint. Dr. John Z. Guzlowski - Professor Emeritus, Eastern Illinois University, author of Echoes of Tattered Tongues: Memory Unfolded

I'm glad that I may present the anthology The Other Side of the Screen, edited by Alicja Kuberska. This is an extraordinary publication showing a diversity of literature, its subject matter, and form. The book's title explains much and suggests its origin. It all started through the Internet from meetings on Facebook, which in some cases grew into friendships. This book is based on Alicja's poetic travels, summits, and engagements. Danuta Blaszak - Editor of the series Contemporary Writers of Poland

Alicja Kuberska is a Polish poet with a rare gift. Not only does she write poetry that has deep emotional resonance, her poetry reads beautifully in translation. Her poems are sometimes sad and sometimes whimsical, but they always leave an abiding impression on the reader who connects with her words which glimpse into a moment, or a thought we ourselves have known: we have all felt those emotions she writes of so eloquently. Alicja poems freeze moments in time, to be read, and reread and savoured. Marie-Ora de Villiers

Poezja Alicji Kuberskiej jest pelna swiatla, mocy barw i zapachow. Niesie z soba zyciowe cieplo, cieplo zranione, ale nadal tlace sie nadzieja, trzymane przy zyciu "zapachem porannej kawy". Przede wszystkim Alicja Kuberska pokazuje nam swiatlo, jakie drzemie w kazdym czlowieku. Agata Linek
