Poet, teacher, mother and musician, Shahanaz Hoque was born into a political family in Bangladesh (her father was a member of parliament in Pakistan) and immigrated to Canada as a young woman. She feels life is like a seasonal plant: whatever is beautiful will grow generation after generation. So Shahanaz felt the urge to put pen to paper and express her emotions and ideas in poetic form. This is her first creation as a poem book (I feel time's tide). For the author, poetry and music are one whole package, a one two three melody in an international language that helps us keep a sweet rhythmic connection with each other and world.
