This edition of rush of wings showcases 90 fine cherita and cherita terbalik from writers and poets who hail from UK, USA, Singapore, New Zealand, Lithuania, Germany, Pakistan, India, Romania, and Ireland.

rush of wings is the seventh edition for our third year.

This December edition of the cherita propels us towards the close of 2019 with the festive season and holidays nearly upon us.

You will again find a number of strong collaborative Cherita within [as was in the previous edition], and fine solo Cherita along with pieces from two of my London students Myrto and Ruth who are from my ongoing Life Love and Loss with Cherita writing class. My writing class has produced strong Cherita from Ruth Ingram, Paula Song Sarmonpal, Mekhled Alzaza, Cherie Ghasemloo and now Myrto E. Angeloglou, Ruth Kay and Carmela Centro. I am in the second year of teaching Cherita, and look forward to discovering more natural storytellers who will surprise, perhaps even startle us with their very own authentic way of telling their stories within the pages of the cherita.

I have edited rush of wings as I have all the other editions of the cherita, to be experienced two ways. It can be read as one storybook but also as an anthology of individual poems. Two reading experiences within one book, filled with stories of Life, Love and Loss.

cherita terbalik continues to capture the imagination of poets and there are again fine examples in this edition.
