Foreword Transcendence Legacy Satisfaction Once again, we have come to yet another year-end with our monthly publication. The Poetry Posse and our featured poets have been making this monthly anthology, The Year of the Poet, possible since 2014 without any interruption along the way. After 12 years, we continue to be elated in our contributions from various parts of the world to the genre of poetry. “Transcendence, Legacy” and “Satisfaction” are the focal themes in this 44th issue. In this past year, our thematic foci have varied between anxiety, peacefulness, grief, isolation, empowerment, confusion, love, gratitude, contentment, innocence, joy, and longing, to list only a few. We have all done our diligent research on each of the themes in order to gain better insight into the highlighted human condition and emotions, and to modestly offer our readership the same glimpses. We hope that this final issue of the year 2025 will help us all to not only briefly visit the concepts of transcendence, legacy, and satisfaction as another set of 12 months come to an end, but also to further contemplate these conceptualizations of human life. hülya n. yılmaz, Ph.D.
