The Second Collection of Prose Poems “The Love Season of Leaves”

Author(s)

Abstract
“The Love Season of Leaves” is the second collection of leaves written in prose-poem forms. The author supposes that these collections are Romantic prose-poems she names Magic Naturism because such subjective nature is more characterized and personified than nature in some other romantic works. Alive, animated, and dynamic nature is an essential doer, playing its roles alongside with humans and the other species. Moreover, magic, marveling, and what people call healing or psychic physical balance occur in the heart of nature in alliance with other species. There are celebrations of magic in natural phenomena such as rain, cloud, breeze, ponds, soil, rivers, and forests surrounding mini-narrations of humans’ predicaments. Edenic childhood, love, death, rebirth, drought, glory of art, escapism, sexism, racism, speciesism, slavery, war and its ruins, poverty, solitude, and sublime are local/ universal themes that may be repeated in collections, but their variety of forms, lines, points of view, and styles represent new pieces of writing. Paradox, alliteration, allusion, multiple-metaphors, sensory description, repetition, symbolism, and other literary tropes in this collection are not just tools of literary writing. These collections are social/environmental based prose-poems attempting to expose hidden realities and fleeting fantasies. The second collection represents cultural social factors of particular areas of Iran, Wales, Scotland, Canada, The USA, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, India, Sweden, and Japan.
