Over 5000 poetry lovers have attended each of the 7 physical editions of the two-day festival from 2016 to 2019 and from 2022-2024.
This year, building on the surprise hit of our first eight years, we plan on winning more of your love. We have put together a melodious schedule once more and hope to see each one of you back again. All the usuals will be here, along with some highly unusual: poets across all languages, word palettes from all over the world and exclusive performances in verse and song. Poets new and old, lyricists, singers, performers, musicians… prepare yourself for all rhyme and reason.
The lineup this year includes Gagan Gill, Swanand Kirkire, Jeet Thayil and young poets like Parwati Tirkey- the winner of the Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puraskar 2025, among many others.
