FOREWORD<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Taro Aizu, <\/em>Japan. <\/em>Founder of World Gogyoshi<\/em><\/p>\n

This poetry collection stands as a remarkable milestone in literary history \u2014 it is the first Gogyoshi book ever written in the Albanian language. But what exactly is\u00a0Gogyoshi<\/em>? In Japanese, it means \u201cfive-line poem with a title.\u201d Gogyoshi was born in Japan a century ago and has, in recent years, gained popularity across the globe. For the past six years, I have dedicated myself to promoting this form through Facebook and Amazon publishing, encouraging poets worldwide to embrace its unique beauty.<\/p>\n

Since 2019, more than 150 poets from all corners of the world \u2014 Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand \u2014 have contributed to\u00a0The World Gogyoshi Anthology<\/em>. Among them is the distinguished Albanian poet Jeton Kelmendi. For several years, he has explored Gogyoshi, and now, with profound artistic commitment, he presents this collection of 100 Gogyoshi poems unified under a single theme:\u00a0The Breath of Cosmic Silence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Kelmendi has built a cultural bridge between Albania and Japan, writing in his native Albanian and contributing to a poetic dialogue that transcends borders. For this reason, I regard his work as a monumental contribution to the evolution of Gogyoshi and to world poetry at large.<\/p>\n

What makes this collection especially original is its structure. It is divided into 10 thematic chapters, each containing 10 Gogyoshi poems:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Friendship and Human Connection<\/li>\n
  2. The Mystery of Love<\/li>\n
  3. Life and Its Gentle Pulse<\/li>\n
  4. Nature as Witness and Mirror<\/li>\n
  5. Peace and Inner Light<\/li>\n
  6. Freedom and Dignity<\/li>\n
  7. Family and Belonging<\/li>\n
  8. Philosophy and Thought<\/li>\n
  9. Plants and Animals<\/li>\n
  10. The Universe and Cosmic Presence<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Together, these ten themes form a harmonious whole \u2014 a unified spiritual and poetic vision, much like a magnificent cathedral beneath a boundless sky. Through these 100 poems, Kelmendi reflects on the wide spectrum of human and cosmic existence: from friendship, love, and family, to nature, animals, and the stars \u2014 extending from the intimate realm of the heart to the vastness of the universe.<\/p>\n

    There are three main characteristics that define Kelmendi\u2019s Gogyoshi:<\/p>\n

    First<\/strong>, brevity. The poems are short and easy to remember. Their simplicity invites readers to carry the verses in their minds and recite them softly \u2014 a core essence of Gogyoshi poetry.<\/p>\n

    Second<\/strong>, philosophical depth. Each five-line poem is a distilled worldview, a meditative fragment that evokes quiet reflection on life, time, and the cosmos. These poems are like silent prayers whispered to the stars.<\/p>\n

    Third<\/strong>, symbolic ambiguity. The concise language carries multiple layers of meaning. Each Gogyoshi opens a door to silence \u2014 not an empty silence, but a rich, resonant one. The words transcend their literal meaning and enter the realm of the spiritual and eternal. This is not absence \u2014 it is\u00a0the breath of cosmic silence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Let us now step into that silence. Let us feel its breath \u2014 poem after poem \u2014 in Jeton Kelmendi\u2019s powerful and luminous collection of 100 Gogyoshi.<\/p>\n

P\u00ebrmes k\u00ebtyre 100 poezive, Kelmendi reflekton mbi spektrin e gjer\u00eb t\u00eb ekzistenc\u00ebs njer\u00ebzore dhe kozmike: nga miq\u00ebsia, dashuria dhe familja, te natyra, kafsh\u00ebt dhe yjet \u2013 duke kaluar nga zemra intime te pafund\u00ebsia e universit.<\/p>\n

      Tre jan\u00eb tiparet kryesore q\u00eb e karakterizojn\u00eb Gogyoshin e Kelmendit:<\/p>\n

      S\u00eb pari<\/strong>, shkurt\u00ebsia. Poezit\u00eb jan\u00eb t\u00eb shkurtra dhe t\u00eb lehta p\u00ebr t\u2019u mbajtur mend. Thjesht\u00ebsia e tyre fton lexuesin t\u2019i mbaj\u00eb n\u00eb mendje e t\u2019i p\u00ebshp\u00ebrij\u00eb but\u00eb \u2013 nj\u00eb thelb i qen\u00ebsish\u00ebm i poezis\u00eb Gogyoshi.<\/p>\n

      S\u00eb dyti<\/strong>, thell\u00ebsia filozofike. \u00c7do poezi me pes\u00eb vargje p\u00ebrmban nj\u00eb bot\u00ebkuptim t\u00eb p\u00ebrmbledhur, nj\u00eb fragment meditativ q\u00eb nxit reflektim t\u00eb qet\u00eb p\u00ebr jet\u00ebn, koh\u00ebn dhe kozmosin. Ato jan\u00eb si lutje t\u00eb heshtura q\u00eb i drejtohen yjeve.<\/p>\n

      S\u00eb treti<\/strong>, dykuptim\u00ebsia simbolike. Fjal\u00ebt e shkurt\u00ebrta mbartin kuptime t\u00eb shum\u00ebfishta. \u00c7do Gogyoshi hap nj\u00eb der\u00eb drejt qet\u00ebsis\u00eb \u2013 jo nj\u00eb qet\u00ebsi bosh, por nj\u00eb qet\u00ebsi t\u00eb pasur dhe rezonante. Fjal\u00ebt poetike tejkalojn\u00eb kuptimin e tyre t\u00eb drejtp\u00ebrdrejt\u00eb dhe hyjn\u00eb n\u00eb bot\u00ebn shpirt\u00ebrore e t\u00eb p\u00ebrjetshme. Kjo nuk \u00ebsht\u00eb munges\u00eb \u2013 \u00ebsht\u00eb\u00a0frym\u00ebmarrja e qet\u00ebsis\u00eb kozmike<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      Tani, le t\u00eb hyjm\u00eb n\u00eb at\u00eb qet\u00ebsi. Le ta ndiejm\u00eb frym\u00ebmarrjen e saj \u2013 poezi pas poezie \u2013 n\u00eb k\u00ebt\u00eb p\u00ebrmbledhje t\u00eb fuqishme dhe ndri\u00e7uese t\u00eb 100 Gogyoshive t\u00eb Jeton Kelmendit.<\/p>\n
