The Delhi Poetry Festival (DPF) is all set to begin this weekend, and it features some of the best in the business.
If you’re a poet at heart, or simply an avid reader of poetry, this festival might just be perfect for you. From December 18-20, Siri Fort Auditorium, Delhi will host some of the most brilliant minds in the current Indian poetry universe. People like Javed Akhtar, Prasoon Joshi, Piyush Mishra, Muzaffar Ali, Uday Prakash, Sukrita Paul Kumar and Keki Daruwalla will make appearances at the festival. There will be poetry readings, recitations and plays by kids, discussions on poetry translation, aesthetics, women in poetry and a whole lot else!
Dolly Singh, poetess and founder of DPF says,“Our objective has always been to promote and rejuvenate poetry in the literary space and DPF connects people through the power of poetry. It’s our endeavour to enlighten and enchant poetry lovers by putting together a platform that provides stimulating, thought-provoking and entertaining interactions for all ages and walks of life. The third edition of DPF is a leap of faith and we hope to carry it ahead in the coming years by introducing novel ideas.”
