SOUL SPACES- A POETRY ANTHOLOGY.

poetry 1 Minute

For the third year in a row, I have received the wonderful chance to have my poem grace an anthology edited by the always prolific Anita Nahal Ma’am. The first was NURSERY RHYMES AND CHILDREN’S POEMS FROM AROUND THE WORLD that featured LULLABY and WISH UPON A STAR in 2021 and the other was PIXIE DUST AND ALL THINGS MAGICAL that gave credence to my poems GREETINGS TO MR. BRUNO and HAPPY GHOSTS, in 2022.

SOUL SPACES: POEMS ON CITIES, TOWNS & VILLAGES is the name of the anthology that has been currently curated and brought to global notice by Nahal Ma’am and a host of other eminent literary figures whom I have read and shared pages with in several journals and anthologies. My evolution affixed with their guidance has made me achieve laurels.





Hence to have my poem LUCKNOW- AN ODE TO THE CITY- grace its space is a special feat for me on a personal level. My affinity for the classical nature of my city is in a mould I continue to nurture anew each day. The poem is indeed an ode to its place in my heart and by extension to all those who have been held aloft with its aesthetic beauty and unique cultural position. It’s a harbinger of a distinct affinity to art in general.

After having recited it at the prestigious Metaphor Litfest apropos of Lucknow Literary Festival, 2021, published it in my departmental journal Rhetorica Quarterly in late 2020 and read it again at a pre-Convocation ceremony hosted by my home department of English and Modern European Languages, University of Lucknow just last month, this recognition from readers of all hues has made the poem beloved.

Thank you to all for the support and love. Here’s to the undying strength of POETRY & CREATIVITY.

I launch myself, with a searing, soaring passion for all domains verging on the writerly and creative with a beginner's appetite here and that's how I believe in adding meaning to each day. A lucky mascot of literature, cinema and culture, I come riding on spirited wings from the emblematic city of Lucknow where all those reside and thrive. My breeding ground and my mindscape all are committed to these three life forces. Cinema. Culture. Literature. But the biggest and all consuming parent to these is life that breeds them . There is the discovery that comes from expressing yourself, clear eyed and even mystical, when you come from a city like this. I am here to expand my worldviews, share my earliest inspirations and evolutions and go with the flow through the most accessible outlet there is : writing. Conventionally, my biography is that of a degree holder in English literature encompassing Undergraduate, Postgraduate and M Phil years and every possible experience of learning finer points of knowledge . I have already taken the plunge of creating a solid base for my works by publishing my poems and articles on the renowned worldwide community/ writing sanctuary Wattpad since 2015, a platform which is a miracle for anyone pursuing so much as a flash of wordplay and thoughts to spare. It has redefined my life and allows me to go strong. You can read my works there under the username MadMenWearingFedora / Prithvijeet. That is the springboard that catapulted me to a confident vocational revival. So here I am. Both originality and novelty are the key words to define this eternal student of life. So with the tip of the pen blessing my head and a new vigor, I welcome you all to my realm. AN AWADH BOY'S PANORAMA beckons.
