    About this ebook

    "For those who have the privilege and the daring to read poetry, the surprise and discovery never end. Such is the case with the poetics of Dr. Jacob Isaac in the twenty-two poems that make up his book Sense of Enigma presented here in its bilingual (English-Spanish) version. Due to my audacity to reincarnate his poetry for Spanish readers, I have recreated them in the Spanish Language and hopefully without betraying them in the traditional possibility of "traditore traduttore." The creation of this poet is challenging and uncommon."
    Luis Alberto Ambroggio
    North-American Academy of the Spanish Language

    The author of Sense of Enigma, Jacob Isaac, explores almost all the throes and imaginative possibilities of Fantasy, as it affects the human mind, the inner self with feelings, and even some physical attributes of man. This in-depth poetic report will stimulate the thoughts of habits, amusements, pride, and other sometimes hidden responses when experimenting with fantasy. Its imagery opens many doors and closes none

    I am deeply impressed with the skillful hand of Mr. Jacob Isaac in writing poetry. He has powerful pen that can magnify the barely unseen to make it apparent to the naked eyes. He is one of those poets who can touch the human soul by simply saying a word. How he transforms images into reality and reality into images is quite remarkable. In effect, Mr. Jacob Isaac's writings, are collections of precious jewels in the art of poetry.

      INTRODUCTION

      For those who have the privilege and the daring to read poetry, the surprise and discovery never end. Such is the case with the poetics of Dr. Jacob Isaac in the twenty two poems that make up his book Sense of Enigma presented here in the Spanish language. Due to my audacity to reincarnate his poetry for Spanish readers, I have recreated them in Spanish language and hopefully without betraying them in the traditional possibility of traditore traduttore. The creation of this poet is challenging and uncommon.

      Born in Kerala, India, Dr. Isaac completed his Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree from Bhopal University, Bhopal, MP, and earned his Master of Arts (MA) degree in English Literature from Sri Venkateswara University in Andhra Pradesh. In search of economic opportunities he migrated to South Africa over two decades ago and he established the St. Thomas and Good Shepherd Education Project of South Africa. He is the founder, owner, and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Good Shepherd High School in Marble Hall, South Africa, where he currently resides. As an educator, poet, and scholar, he has been the coordinator or host of numerous cultural exchanges and literary events in South Africa and India. For his creative prowess and poetic excellence, he has received numerous awards including the Excellence in Poetry Award in Larissa, Greece, Michael Madhusudan Dutt Award in Calcutta, India, and an Award for Excellence at the Third World Congress of Hispanic American Poetry (July 2014) in Los Angeles, California, among others.

      I will not pretend being a child solely showing in amazement at this collection of poems because indeed its reading requires a maturity and an exceptional erudition. Professor Dominic already mentioned in the preamble to the book: a sharp, concentrated mind is required to digest the full sense and beauty of the lines. These verses are his word in time (Juan de Mairena), the reader and critical reviewers will decide on their fate, and this constitutes my little grain of sand that contributes to the look through time of literary criticism.

      If every poem survives as it touches the universal consciousness of humanity according
