In latest news from Uttarakhand, a one-day workshop on campus poetry was organised under the aegis of Mahadevi Verma Srujanpeeth of Kumaun University. A veteran poetess Anupam Singh- who was present at the workshop as a subject expert- said while addressing the budding writers that there is not just a strong expression of reality in the young poets but novelty in the subjects. “When we try to record our time with beauty, then it will be poetry,” she said. Poet Hemant Kukreti, a recipient of Bharat Bhushan Samman, said that as love is the starting point of human consciousness every poet has to pass through it. Another renowned poet Shirish Kumar Maurya recited a poem from his poetry collection.
In the workshop, 12 researchers/students, selected through Google registration, recited their original poems. In the poetry recitation competition, Pooja Goswami got the first place while Anjali Nailwal bagged the second place and Himanshu Vishwakarma, the third.
