About the Book

(La poésie en français et en anglais avec des illustrations en couleur par les poètes) Illustrated in full colour by the poets, this collection of English and French poetry is a first collaboration by published poets Benjamin Cusden from Great Britain and Faten Gharbi from France. A collaboration of poems that are presented here in their original form and are also translated into the other poet's national language. [Benjamin Cusden's poetry is naturally English (UK) and Faten Gharbi's poetry is naturally French (France)]. Life, love and death dance The Waltz of Shadows in this collection of poetry that haunts the edges of our lives and minds. It hides from the bright lights of day and exists in a world of forever moving shadows. Love in its many guises and disguises; loss and new hope; the end of innocence and the fragility of the human mind are all within the pages of this moving collection. The poets have been introspective, looking deeply within themselves and have excavated through layers of experiences, feelings, thoughts and beliefs. These poems have been written with their true feelings about emotions and experiences that have touched their lives and are intrinsically shared globally in different personal ways. With the shadows of the darkness of depression, for example, comes the balance of the fleeting glimmers of hope that can occasionally burn strongly. The poets are from very different backgrounds and have been bought up in separate cultures and yet they have found a shared set of emotions and feelings that they present here through their words. There are no shadows without light but sometimes it is hard to distinguish between the two as they dance together in The Waltz of Shadows. Illustré en couleur par les poètes, cette collection de poésie anglaise et française est une première collaboration par les poètes publiés Benjamin Cusden de Grande-Bretagne et Faten Gharbi France. Une collaboration de poèmes qui sont présentés ici dans leur forme originale et sont également traduits dans la langue nationale de l'autre poète. [Poésie Benjamin Cusden est naturellement English (UK) et de la poésie Faten Gharbi est naturellement français (France)]. La vie, l'amour et la mort dansent la valse des ombres dans ce recueil de poésie qui hante les bords de nos vies et nos esprits. Il se cache des lumières du jour et existe dans un monde d'ombres toujours en mouvement. L'amour dans ses nombreuses formes et déguisements; la perte et un nouvel espoir; la fin de l'innocence et la fragilité de l'esprit humain sont tous dans les pages de cette collection en mouvement. Les poètes ont été introspective, regardant profondément en eux-mêmes et ont fouillé à travers les couches d'expériences, des sentiments, des pensées et des croyances. Ces poèmes ont été écrits avec leurs vrais sentiments sur les émotions et les expériences qui ont touché leur vie et sont intrinsèquement partagées à l'échelle mondiale de différentes manières personnelles. Avec les ombres de l'obscurité de la dépression, par exemple, vient de l'équilibre des lueurs fugaces d'espoir qui peut parfois brûler fortement. Les poètes sont d'horizons très différents et ont été achetés dans des cultures distinctes et pourtant ils ont trouvé un ensemble partagé des émotions et des sentiments qu'ils présentent ici par leurs paroles. Il n'y a pas d'ombre sans lumière, mais il est parfois difficile de distinguer entre les deux comme ils dansent ensemble dans La Valse des Ombres.
