Dear Friends,
Poetrywala has turned TEN!
An
achievement, honourable and yet so humbling, that calls for a special
occasion to present to the world wonderful books of something
as powerful and yet as fragile as poetry—poetry of extraordinary
quality.
Literature
and the arts together form an important barometer indicating the state
of a society at any given period in history. Poetry
happens to be the most compelling medium of address among various
literary genres. It is, of course, very niche, and therefore many big
publishers across the world fail to publish it, fearing inadequate
profits and, sometimes, losses too.
Poetrywala
is proud to have given many poets across the world a solid platform to
present their works, which are versatile and contemporary.
We believe that poetry, literature and the arts can bring people closer
and build bridges across countries and cultures.
To commemorate this splendid occasion, Poetrywala is organizing a one-day poetry festival in Mumbai on
Saturday, 21 September 2013, 9am onwards
C. M. Master Hall, Sir J J College of Architecture,Opp CST, D N Road, Mumbai 400101
Poetrywala
will present the works of many respected seniors, contemporaries and
young poets from across India as well as those from
beyond the Indian shores. In celebration of the vibrant linguistic
diversity that the most ancient means of expression has witnessed,
poetry will be read in Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, Malayalam,
English, Italian, Spanish, Hebrew and Irish.
You are cordially invited.
