THE NEW DELHI POETRY FESTIVAL AND  LAUNCH OF "The Smell of Purple"

21/3/2014

0 Comments

 
We had a wonderful experience in January when we were guests of Poets Corner, a writing group in New Delhi, India, in their four-day Poetry Festival. We were also the grateful guests of Shyam Sharma, who made us very welcome in the midst of his hard work as one of the organisers of the Festival. 

We were very honoured to be invited to speak on a panel at the Jawaharlal Nehru University alongside eminent Indian writers and other international guests. There we also ran a workshop with young people and launched Dónall Dempsey's new book, "The Smell of Purple". The event was hosted at the university in collaboration with the Oxford bookshop in New Delhi. Another highlight was the day when we took part in readings on the "Poetry on Wheels" tour bus, reading at historic points in the city.

Of course we found time to go to Jaipur and Agra as well - though our view of the Taj Mahal was rather a smoggy one!
