THE TRANSLATION EDITION
Poetry at the Heart of the Nation, the journal of the Intercultural Poetry and Performance Library (IPPL), in its previous avatar was published in pdf form and uploaded to the IPPL website. While throughout the pandemic we, at IPPL, have been using poetry to stay connected, work on the Journal had been held up for various reasons. We lost Dr Sutapa Chaudhuri to Covid 19 last year. Sutapa Chaudhuri helmed the journal and she had been the associate editor of the previous two issues of the journal. She was a member of the Executive Council of IPPL and worked relentlessly for the cause of poetry. We also lost eminent poet Shri Sankha Ghosh last year, to Covid 19. Shri Ghosh was the President of the Advisory Board of IPPL.
