The Journal of IPPL
Poetry at the Heart of the Nation is in its 7th issue now. It has been a great journey of providing a platform for IPPL poets to see their poems published in a journal that is a kind of a flagship of the organization that gives them a sense of community and for some even a family. This 7th issue of IPPL’s journal has 21 poets contributing their poems and we also have one interview (of Prof. Navamalati Neog Chakraborty), two book reviews and two eclectic essays. It has been our labour of love and we hope that our readers will enjoy reading this issue as much as we did working on it. Happy reading!
