London Book Fair 2023 – by Anita Bacha

Dear friends and book lovers,

After the pandemic and subsequent confinements , the London Book Fair was back in full swing this Spring from 18 to 20 April 2023.
I visited the Fair as Author, having published my illustrated children’s book’ The Princess and the Crow’ in 2019 with Austin Macauley Publishers Ltd.
I felt on top of the world among the wonderful writers, publishers, illustrators and more, networking and exchanging ideas about the future of books.
In conversation with the Publishers Association, Mayor of London #SadiqKhan said – culture is in the DNA of London. It’s the glue that binds our city together.
Sharing a few photos with you and wishing to be here with you in March 2024.

Greetings from London and thank you for your visit.

Hot Tropic Sun – Haiku- A Poem by Anita Bacha

hot tropic sun

the palm tree lies

flat on shore line

Good evening, my dear friends!

Happy Thursday!

First Leaf of the Fall

Behold the first turn of the autumn leaf

From green to amber light,

From yellow to rusty veins;

Behold the game of life,

Like the autumn leaf

We have lived,

Gracefully, we detach,

Knowing life is a gift of God,

We take our leave,

Make way for new leaves

Anita Bacha.

On the Quay of Farewell – A Poem by Anita Bacha

On the quay of farewell

In a covetous embrace

You gave me your heart

On the quay of farewell

You wiped my tears with your lips

You offered me your eyes

On the quay of farewell

You spoke to me about your suffering

You wanted my mouth to feel your fading breath

On the quay of farewell

You wanted me to remember your desires

Your thirst and your hunger insatiate

On the quay of farewell

You fumbled for the tenderness and sweetness that are in me

That you will never find in another

On the quay of farewell

You hugged me tight in your arms

You wanted to keep me forever

On the quay of farewell

Heavy as a winter coat

The separation bent you into two

And you shouted my name

Anita Bacha

Thank you for viewing and reading my dear friends

Happy evening

Begonia – A Short Poem by Anita Bacha

Under the showering rain,

Shaken by the swells of the gale,

A sweet, pastel pink, begonia,

A petite, elusive begonia,

Beckons my heart in pain;

A flood of love carries me away,

Drifting me tenderly at bay.

Anita Bacha

Begonia is a short poem from my poetry book‘INK – Echo of life and love’. Published by the biggest publishing house ‘Éditions de L’Ocean Indien’ of Mauritius in 2019.

Sadly, that book is available for purchase solely on the local market. On the other hand and, happily I have a big audience in my birth country. I am loved by the beautiful people of Mauritius and my work is applauded by many.

On the left of the jetty

I’m glad I am home
