About the Book:

There is a reason why humans call the best of everything 'poetry.' In the famous romance novel, The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks, the hero calls his lover a 'living poem.' Our best literature (irrespective of its form), movies, arts, places, food, even wine is called 'poetic.' No matter how scientifically advanced or technologically sophisticated we get, humans will always read and write poetry. As Robin Williams says in the movie 'Dead Poets Society,'

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering... these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."

It is with immense pride and joy that the entire team at StoryMirror selected, edited, compiled, designed, printed and published this beautiful collection of poems - Under the Shade of a Tree.
