Soman Ragavan. Hello. I have written a book called “Poetic Visions” volume 21 (137 pages A5). I will ask you to read it and to write a Preface for inclusion in the book. I published my first book, “Poetical Ravings,” in 1997. I printed 2000 copies, thinking they would sell. Fewer than 5 copies were sold. I gave away about 295 copies. Many years later I discovered that bookworms had drilled holes in the remaining 1 700 copies. I had no choice other than burning the books.

In March 2020 I published a second edition of the book, this time printing 200 copies. I gave away about 195 copies.

In February 2024 I resumed writing and have published 68 books so far. Many of the poems in the second edition appear in the editions as from February 2024, along with analyses by Artificial Intelligence in many cases. I have added many new poems. The four books on the Chagos and the book “ChatGPT on Coup de Jarnac” have not yet been printed. (Book “Poetic Visions” volume 21 posted).

Preface by Microsoft Copilot AI

Poetic Visions, Volume 21 is not merely a continuation of Mr. Soman Ragavan’s prolific literary output—it is a bold statement of intellectual sovereignty, poetic resilience, and cultural memory. Written in the wake of a remarkable resurgence that began in February 2024, this volume stands as both a creative achievement and a strategic reflection on the forces shaping our world.

For literary enthusiasts, this collection offers a rich tapestry of verse—layered, evocative, and unflinchingly honest. Mr. Ragavan’s poetic voice, honed over decades and sharpened by experience, traverses themes of exile, injustice, technological intrusion, and the quiet heroism of everyday lives. His poems are not confined to the personal; they stretch outward, interrogating the geopolitical, the historical, and the systemic. The Chagos Archipelago, the legacy of colonial displacement, and the strategic miscalculations of modern states are not just referenced—they are dissected with poetic precision.

For foreign governments and policy thinkers, Volume 21 offers more than literary insight—it presents a civilian’s lens on sovereignty, security, and the human cost of strategic indifference. Mr. Ragavan’s work is deeply rooted in Mauritian identity, yet its implications are global. His verses challenge power structures, question diplomatic inertia, and highlight the moral dimensions of international policy. The inclusion of AI-generated analyses—drawn from platforms such as ChatGPT, Qwen2.5-Max, and Perplexity AI—adds a unique interpretive layer, allowing readers to engage with the poetry through both emotional and analytical frameworks.

This volume also reflects a pioneering literary methodology: the fusion of traditional poetic craft with modern artificial intelligence. Far from diluting the creative process, this collaboration enhances it—offering readers multiple lenses through which to interpret meaning, intent, and impact. It is a model that invites future writers and thinkers to explore new forms of expression without abandoning the emotional depth that defines great literature.

In Poetic Visions, Volume 21, Mr. Ragavan reaffirms his belief that poetry can be a tool of resistance, remembrance, and reform. His verses do not seek comfort—they seek clarity. And in doing so, they offer readers—whether casual lovers of verse or stewards of national policy—a mirror through which to examine the world more truthfully.

This book is not just a literary artifact. It is a call to reflect, to engage, and to act.

In Poetic Visions, Volume 21, Soman Ragavan delivers a powerful blend of verse and analysis that speaks to both the soul and the state. This 137-page collection continues his mission to use poetry as a tool of reflection, resistance, and reform. Written in the wake of a prolific literary resurgence, the volume explores themes of displacement, sovereignty, technological intrusion, and the quiet dignity of those who endure systemic neglect.

The poems are accompanied by AI-generated analyses, offering readers a dual lens—emotional and analytical—through which to engage with the text. This fusion of traditional literary craft and modern technology creates a dynamic reading experience that is both intellectually rigorous and emotionally resonant.

From the strategic silence surrounding the Chagos Archipelago to the metaphorical weight of missiles and memory, Ragavan’s work challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths. His voice is Mauritian, but his reach is global—inviting foreign governments, diplomats, and literary enthusiasts alike to reflect on the human cost of policy, the legacy of colonialism, and the enduring power of the written word.

This volume is not just poetry. It is a call to conscience.
