M.S. Yousafzai's New Poetry Collection to Be Featured at Bologna Children's Book Fair, 3/24

M.S. Yousafzai's new poetry collection, "The Chasing Glance: The Expression Garden" (published by AuthorHouse), will be participating in the 2014 Bologna Children's Book Fair. The Bologna Book Fair is the oldest conference focusing solely on children's books. Every year, book publishers, literary agents and even film producers travel to Bologna for the festival, where they are presented with works from many authors.

This year's conference will begin on March 24th, and end on the 27th. There will be numerous guest speakers, book presentations and discussions over engaging with readers.

Drawing solely from the things he sees and knows, Yousafzai believes his poetry will be relatable for many readers, as it is composed of elements drawn from daily life. He also believes his poetry will help heal readers dealing with problems similar to those present in the collection: loss of love, depression and finding faith.

An excerpt from the poem, "Holy Father Adam" in "The Chasing Glance":

"Blessed entity, the first human was descended to the earth.
He was sixty feet tall, with the mercy of God since his birth.

His birth without parents, from this clay increases my mirth.
Why we all have forgotten his life an example of best worth."
