Should poetry be on the net?
INTRODUCTION The net, a trap for
this and that (A poem by Arvind
Passey) |
|
"I liked reading
the poems that one normally only hears about. I haven't come across
these poems in a single anthology. Liked reading your poems too. Yes,
I agree that poetry on the net is a reality that will not allow us to
escape unaffected."

"Visited your site. Great site. Thanks for telling me about it. I'll pass the word around to poetry enthusiasts" Vijay Nagaswami (vnagaswami@vsnl.com) |

"I hope that
all is well in India. I've just had a look at your web site and think
that it's excellent!"

"Your poetry
page is fascinating! Here's my invitation to you to visit our small
poetry project that we have developed at Sonar Tari (named after a
wonderful poem by Rabindranath Tagore). We aim to develop a database
of translations of poems from different Indian languages to English."

"I've had a quick
browse through your poetry website. It looks very good."

"Your site is
looking wonderful! I can tell you are putting a lot of work into it.
My suggestion is to keep up the great work. :) Let me know if you
are ever interested in exchanging links."

"Your site was
done very well. It is good to see someone so into poetry as you have
shown in your site. The poems were good and may have been chosen by
the BBC as top 10 but there is a common note of melancholy... Why
not include also some poems aith a theme and a message but delivered
with aplomb, appeal and humor?! I could help you out there. I have
a few personal favourites, too. Your info bank about the competitions
also was quite impressive... I have been chosen as a winner in the
American Poetry Competition too...but they asked for some money to
be ABLE to publish me in the American Anthology... something I could
not afford in dollars! It would be good to include this kind of inside
stuff on some of the competes, too. It would atleast prepare our fellow
Indians for the Good, The bad and the Ugly! All the best to you. Nice
to hear from you.

I was really surprised
to note that Pablo Neruda's Love sonnet,Number17,written in the
year 1960 has not been included in the top 10 love poems of the
last half century.Will somebody please tell the BBC?

about the poetry scene in India. Sachidanandan was my english professor
in collge before he moved to Delhi. It was nice to read his analysis
of Indian poetry scene"
