A week full of poetry
|

Poetry is perceived as the joy of life and language of the soul. Palpable joy and gaiety reflected the mood and mind of the poets gathered at the 11th India Poetry Festival held at the Indian Institute of World Culture, Basavangudi recently.
It was organised by Dr Mohammed Fakhruddin, a crusader of poetry who describes it as a craft that opens up many avenues for self-exploration and self-realisation. Speaking at the gathering, Fakhruddin stated that the classical forms of English poetry will vanish from the literary scene in a few decades from now if poets and educationists world over do not do anything about it.
“Poets-In-Residence’ at universities should teach and guide the young poets interested in the art of writing classical poetry,” he said.Chief guest Prof Raamaa Chandramouli, an eminent Telugu poet and Sahitya Akademi Awardee released the book titled The Sonnets and The Rubaiyat written by Dr Mohammed Fakhruddin. The festival provided a platform for poets from Aligarh, Delhi, Chennai, among other places, to present their seminar papers. Shernaz Wadia from Pune, who’s theme, World Brotherhood, Love and Peace Through Poetry, won the Best Seminar Paper.
A total of six books were released at the festival.
