"e;A drop of PURE LOVEcontains an ocean of transformative power -never underestimate the ripple effect…Welcome to the inaugural edition of The Quilled Ink Review. A pure labour of Love, we could think of no better way to begin than on that note - Ode to Love.Within these pages, you will find an eclectic mix of accomplished writers from across the world, some of whom we have the honour and privilege to publish for the very first time. And yet, the language of Love, in all its shades, remains the same. It begs of you to pause for a moment, reflect, and bathe in its beauty. It begs of you to see that poetry in itself is an act of Love, an act of healing, and that the stories too urge you to dance despite the darkness.Our breath and focus are best spent on Love for what is Love but tapping into the music of our souls. Welcome to this Ode to Love."e;- Adiela AkooPoet, Founder & Editor
