SELECTED POETS AND POEMS
Among one hundred and fifty-three poets, we have selected one hundred and three. It’s an exhausting job, tricky as well. Barring a few exceptions, we have adhered to the guidelines. You will be glad to know that among the selected contributors, the youngest one is a student of eighth grade in a school located in the suburb of Calcutta. The rest, for you to see. Congratulations to all poets for trusting our vision.
