Sub: Proposal for Publication 

Sir/Madam,

As you are open for submission, I would love to send you my proposal for the publication of my book titled The Nuance: A Verse Of Questions Toward Immortality by your esteemed Publishers. 

The Nuance is a verse of 3400 rhetorical questions in 1700 heroic couplets in 17 no. of Cantos, themed on biological immortality of human beings. The verse is an intellectual, ethical and spiritual development and deals with the subjects like life, death, evolution, god, religion, systems of living, and the concepts of soul, spirit, rebirth, etc. as it develops the logic of human immortality. The human brain is made the chief protagonist of the verse and science the means to immortality. 

I am especially ambitious for the publication for the fact that The Nuance will be the world's second book of versified questions in English after Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda's translated book, The Book of Questions, which was published by Copper Canyon Press in 1991. However, The Nuance, a single verse of 1700 heroic couplets, will be, when published the world's first of the kind book in content, length, and literary form and style. 3400 rhetorical questions in 17 cantos are poised to hook the readers with its lucidly flowing logic. The theme of biological immortality of each human being is definitely a pleasant drag. The book is rich in precious messages for humanity and claims to influence the experts and intellectuals and get the readers from different fora. Besides, the book is expected to invite lots of literary criticism. 

I am M.A., LL.B. aged 53 and an Assistant Professor in the department of English and Humanities in a professional degree college in Bhubaneswar. I am a self-published author of The Sermonic Verses, a collection of 100 English sonnets, published paperback by BlueRose Publishers, Delhi. I also have authored two Kindle-published poetry ebooks, Creation & Crunch, a collection of 40 poems, and Mama Rhymes, a collection of 100 moral poems. Moreover, I have two blog sites,  mypoems.npsamal.com and journal.npsamal.com, where I have been publishing poems, essays and articles since 2018.

It may be noted that The Nuance has also been blog-published at my blog site,  mypoems.npsamal.com. The post was once placed under warning by blogger.com for what this global site had found my work having sensitive content. But later it lifted the warning sign.

As per your requirement, I have herewith attached the book synopsis and the first three cantos of the book for your kind consideration. 

Looking forward to hearing from you. 

Regards,

N P Samal 

Enclosed:
1. The book synopsis 
2. First three cantos of the book

CORONA MONOLOGUE (10) -By N P Samal

THE UNIVERSE AND YOU The Corona lock-down is being extended. Indefinitely. Interminably. At first, you had thought it would be a matter of roughly two weeks. But to your dismay, it did not end. Then two months. You thought you would die.  But you did not die. Now six months already into the lock-down, you have not died. Neither Corona nor your fear has been able to break into the shell of your life, although you have been deprived of the zest. You have been sitting idle. Nothing really is interesting inside the house. Everything is hackneyed. Everything is uninteresting. So, you are curled up in your armchair, legs bent up into the tight hold of your arms, head hanging down the lower jaw resting on the knees and the eyes are wide open but seeing nothing as the interior of your visual limit looks insipid... Please listen to me! Just do one thing to get freedom from COVIDIOCY as well as to exercise your workability with the following activity : Take a set of crayons and a drawing she...
