About Letters to Slaves
Dear readers and friends,
I am delighted that you have come across to this book and I am very touched that you have shown a great generosity to my work. This book is a collection of thoughts, longings, ideas and sometimes rhyming verses. I do not dare to call it a poetry book, because if I am a writer, then who was Bukowski? I am rather a young man who writes about things (you can define me like that). In this sense, please do not consider “a poetry book” at the cover page as an indication of vanity, but rather to let audience know what to expect.
Finally, I am glad that you are here, and I hope that you will enjoy this book. Please do not cringe to my love “poems” and political ideas.
Your friend,
Gasham

Author Bio:
My story with poetry dates back to my very early ages. At the first grade of my primary school, I was introduced to it. I was about 6-7 years old at that time and our school used to organize poetry night events for the parents and students. One day, my literature teacher approached to our class for choosing individuals for “poem recital contest”. Long story short, I was chosen. I still remember the excitement I felt on stage from reciting a nationalistic poem. One event, two, three, four…. i was the main guy “THE POETRY GUY”.
However, I did not like this name, it gave me a sense of weakness, geeky and nerdy feeling that my father did not like. I was even wearing optic glasses at the time…What a nerd! I did not like it, It was the end for the poetry guy.
After few years, one night in college I opened a notebook and started scratching some stuff there. It wasn’t too different, it was fun, it felt right. As if I was born for this, not for Engineering. Few months later, “THE POETRY GUY” was back writing here and there, on a napkin, back page of my Calculus notebook and on my PC.
Here I am friends, after 10 years of building self confidence, publishing my poetry book.
My book “Letters to Slaves” contains all the scratches I could collect from different location. Hope you will enjoy this and please don’t forget me and the fact that poetry doesn’t have to be cute.
