IPPL Journal Issue 5, April 2024

The Journal of IPPL


Spring has begun revealing its colours in Kolkata. The red, violet and yellow flowers here and there are a regular feature this time of the year. Along with the green they add the much-needed colour to a concrete cityscape. A few smiles to lighten up a mundane drive down city roads with all the traffic and dust. The evening spring breeze clearly felt and the full moon shining on amidst all the noise and din. As we sit down to write this Editorial for the 5th issue of the journal of the Intercultural Poetry and Performance Library Journal, Poetry at the Heart of the Nation, the colours of nature seem all over.
