The Journal of IPPL

This issue of the IPPL Journal focusses on ecopoetry.  We are delighted to have a special feature essay by poet Vinita Agrawal. An important aspect of Vinita’s poetry has been her concern for the environment and in the essay she writes on human responsibility, the nonhuman world and eco poetry. There are two other essays in the issue which speak on the subject, critically looking at poetry and at the way poetry could be used to draw children into being more aware, more receptive to nature and natural change. The prose section also contains a book review of a poetry collection as well as an interview of the Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puraskar winner, Ramesh Karthik Nayak.
