A foreward by Surjit Pattar

In this book, Sukhvinder Jutla has translated Harjinder Pattar's and his own selected poems into English. It is very gratifying that these poems will be exposed to English readers world-wide. Another attractive feature of this book is that it is in both languages, English & Punjabi. Along with translation, the essence of the poems is preserved. For the reader who knows both languages, this may become a fountain that makes it doubly interesting.

Another important quality is that to publish a book in two languages demonstrates the self-confidence and boldness of the authors to risk exposing side by side translation to the critics of translation.

I congratulate the genius of both the poets and translators who undertook this initiative. In this age of translation, we truly have great need of such translators.

Harjinder Pattar

A deeply spiritual and generous poet dedicated to promoting Punjabi language and poetry. As the founder of the renowned Punjabi Kalam Kendar in Montreal, he has played a vital role in mentoring poets and enriching Punjabi literature. His poetry, written in simple yet profound language, resonates deeply with audiences, leaving a lasting impact on their hearts and minds. Passionate about preserving and spreading the beauty of Punjabi culture, he continues to inspire through his meaningful and evocative verse.

Sukhvinder Jutla

A poet and author with a deep passion for language, spirituality, and peace. Born in Kenya in 1950, he emigrated to England in 1964, where he pursued an education in Electronic Engineering at the University of Leeds. In 1976, he moved to Canada, where he has lived since. Despite limited formal education in Punjabi, his brief time in Punjab as a child sparked a lifelong love for the language and culture, leading him to self-teach and develop a poetic voice in both Punjabi and English. His talent was evident early on, winning awards for reading Gurbani in Kenya and for his English writing in both Kenya and England. His poetry and writings reflect his deep spirituality, creativity, and commitment to peace, unity, and environmental preservation. His book Peace Through Personal Growth has been well received, resonating with diverse readers.
