Guided by Grace: Rachael Savina Goveas Featured in To My Beloved Teacher

 


As part of our Coauthor Spotlight series for the upcoming anthology To My Beloved Teacher, Writers’ Kalam Literary Bulletin proudly features Rachael Savina Goveas — a teacher, poet, and keen observer of life’s quiet miracles.

A passionate educator since 2010, Rachael brings not just knowledge but a deep sense of reflection into her professional and creative life. Her poem "Teacher Divine" has been selected for inclusion in the anthology for its lyrical elegance and spiritual warmth — a tribute that resonates with readers across generations and geographies.

Rachael is a writer who finds inspiration in the wondrous facets of life. With a unique ability to distill everyday moments into poignant poetry, she often turns to haiku — the compact yet profound Japanese form — to express her insights. Her literary voice is one of simplicity, sincerity, and soulful observation.

Over the years, her work has found a place in several respected anthologies, including:

  • The Rising Cavalry (Spectrum of Thoughts, 2021)

  • Letters to Life (Humrooh Publication House, 2022)

  • The Equations of Life (Writers' Kalam, 2023)

  • The Holistic Pine (2023 & 2024 editions)

Her poetic reflections are also featured on YourQuotes, where she writes under the pen name Ray Goveas, sharing her thoughts with a growing circle of readers and admirers.

Rachael’s contribution to To My Beloved Teacher reminds us of the deeply transformative presence of teachers — not only in classrooms but in the hearts and lives of their students.
