"Verses of Meraki" to be Published In the USA

To be published in the USA!

Book Cover Reveal of "Verses of Meraki" Poetry Collaborations and More by Shahid Abbas and Elizabeth Castillo! Our book will be published by Cyber Clerical Associates based in New York, USA owned by Maxwanette A. Poetess/Maxine Moncrieffe. With a powerful and poignant Foreword by International Bestselling Author Zaneta Varnado Johns. Watch out for the release of our phenomenal book collaboration. Coming up soon!

Why "Verses of Meraki"? We thought of having a book title which can readily express how we both feel as creatives. 'Meraki" is actually a Greek word meaning to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself in your work. To love what you do, is to do it well. As authentic creatives, we believe that we should always be passionate in what we do and if we do anything with love, it will love us back. The idea of having the Aurora Borealis as backdraft of our book connotes the mystical depiction of "Meraki." We believe that verses and lyrics affect eternity and like the Aurora Borealis, it lightens up the weary sky and makes everything come alive again! Delve into the verses our muses prompted us to write and get enchanted as you step into our Meraki Universe! "Verses of Meraki" Poetry Collaborations and More will be published by Cyber Clerical Associates based in New York, USA! Book Cover Designer: Art Heals by Elizabeth Esguerra Castillo. Watch out for its release! -Elizabeth Esguerra Castillo and Author Shahid Abbas

details. My pictures were featured in internationals arts collective 

exhibitions in different countries like in Japan and Italy and my works were given 

recognitions and awards.
