The Riverside Collections: The Author's Expression and Code Mixing Write-up

The world of literature and poetry writings, serves as a means of expressing the figurative burden in the heart of the author. Hence, the necessity for this book titled: THE RIVERSIDE COLLECTIONS, with a subtitle caption: The Author's Expression And Code-mixing Poetic Writings. The most interesting part of this book is not in the traditional or contemporary format that it has followed, but its collective nature of 'hybriding' on some of the features of a Lyric Poetry, Narrative styles and a Descriptive poetical dimension with its ability to create various themes, initiate innovative idiomatic expressions, ability to flow freely from a moral perspective to other sections, the act of code mixing and code switching between different themes and the different illustrations, alongside with some political statements, religious notions, customary beliefs, a touch of personal expression and experiences, nature and its earthly endowments, generational and historical passed-on statements and beliefs, classification and the perceptive of different generational groups, which are all graphed into this book. In any case, more work was done in appreciating nature itself, the environment and different expression and tags used to their 'two sides of the coin' existence. Hence, the use of fiction and non-fictionary expressions which gave more rooms for the use of personification, similes, metaphor, hyperbole expressions, ironical figure of speech, metonymies, paradox, and synecdoche statements, and many more. This book is divided into six chapters to enable the Author build-up and also build-on a structure that will enable readers to understand the book's content and its context, as individual chapters took these following expressions: The house by the riverside, the sea of joy and sadness, the three boats by the waterside, the three palm trees in the land, the story corner side on the sea shore, and lastly the market place at the sea shore, with some illustrative drawings to compliment these efforts. Hence, feel free to read through this book. I sincerely thank you for this patronage.
