Colin Bartie ‘The Canvas Of My Soul : The Hues Of My Palette’
by Anahit Arustamyan

With her latest collection of poetical gems Anahit Arustamyan has truly tapped into the zeitgeist: that yearning for nourishment of the soul. These are authentically philosophical as well as poetic, gems she is offering us. The poet talks directly to the existential angst of the age. If you need spiritual, but not necessarily religious, insight you will find it in the pages of her latest offering. The book itself is a joy to hold with clear bold type and gorgeous illustrations. One of my particular favourites is ‘No, Poets Never Die’. Like many of the other poems in this collection it appears to suffuse light, its closing lines:
“A candle is melting while spreading light,
Poets melt like candles but never die.”
It makes you want to be a poet, which is another virtue of this work it is almost militantly poetic. This is a worthy and important calling! The world has great need of spiritual and philosophical poetry and Anahit is supplying it in a jewelled box. Once you dip into it you want more and more and each one sparkles with enlightenment.
Another of my favourites ‘Hey, Winds’
“Hey, winds! Were those butterflies real on the scales of your yesterday?
Oh crazy winds! Butterflies turn into fairies.”
For me Anahit Arustamyan’s words turn into butterflies, the butterflies into angels and the angels spread their dust in my path and sooth my soul. Thank you poet for your soul food. And fellow readers if you have need of sustenance, I fully recommend these poetical delights.
Having read this great and inspiring work I see there are predecessors: ‘The Queen Of Metaphors’, My Intoxicated Ink’, ‘The phantom’s Dolphin’ and ‘Words In Flight’: all of these will find a space in my treasure trove to bring light to the dark night of the soul.

[Clara Belle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m only in Chapter 2 of The Pilot, and I’m already surprised by how quickly the story pulled me in. Nare is such an intriguing character—quiet, sad, and full of wonder as she watches the “silver birds” take flight. Her fascination with the sky gives her a soft, dreamy presence that makes you immediately want to understand her more.

Pierre, on the other hand, brings warmth and steadiness to the scenes. Their early interactions feel natural and tender, filled with small but meaningful moments—shared snacks, gentle questions, and the subtle curiosity between two strangers slowly opening up to each other.

The writing is poetic and atmospheric, turning the airport into a space filled with emotion rather than noise. Even this early on, the story hints at a deeper journey ahead, both for Nare and for the connection forming between her and Pierre.

A captivating start that makes me excited to keep reading.

[Bill Nugh · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Pilot is an engaging maritime adventure set during the American Revolution. Cooper brings the sea to life with vivid descriptions and a mysterious, compelling central character. The language can feel old-fashioned at times, but the suspense, atmosphere, and historical depth make it a rewarding read for fans of classic adventure and naval history
