Across Latitude & Language
In the month of April, Delhi Poetry Slam hosted its first ever World Poetry Project. A one-of-a-kind program for poets from around the world to come together and indulge in a creative exchange of ideas, thoughts and poetry.
More than 100 poets, both renowned and emerging, from across continents participated in online sessions over three days where they performed their works and learnt about international opportunities in regards to touring abroad and building a readership in other parts of the world.
To ensure that such impactful voices in poetry are preserved forever, DelSlam has published each participant's work in an anthology titled Across Latitude & Language as a part of the program. The book features poems by famous poets such as Nandana Dev Sen, Shruti Chauhan and Saumya Choudhury.
